Surface Pro Training for Certified Teachers
Update:
The latest update on the surface pro are as follows:
On Wednesday, August 8th, we will be removing the Surface Pros from the box and connecting them to the charging cable on your desk.
We will also be placing printed instructions for setting up your device for the first time on the device. Please follow these easy, step-by-step instructions carefully.
We will also place a Microsoft bag containing your Surface pen, accessories, and packaging material on your desk.
Cases have been ordered and will be delivered when they arrive.
On Thursday, August 9th from 10:00 - 10:30, a district Tech will be in our library to assist anyone who is having difficulty with his or her device. Amy and Jeff may also be able to help throughout the day.
We will have our training on August 9th from 10:30 - 12:00 in the media center.
It is very important that you reset your district password on a desktop if your password has expired over the summer. If the password has expired, the Surface Pro will not complete the setup process.
Please avoid calling the Help Desk or submitting Surface Pro-related School Dude tickets until after your tech has arrived and left on the 9th.
9. There will also be instructions in with your device on how to install the "ricoh follow you" so that you can print from your device.
