Linden-Kildare Mobile Computing Cart Checkout Procedures
Teacher Check-Out Guidelines
- There are 20 tablets/Chromebooks per cart. If you’re class is over this size, your students will need to double up or use another system already in the classroom.
- Do not remove the power adapters from the cart. If you suspect a power adapter is not working, please report the cart number and slot number of the system not being charged in a work order.
- If there are any technical issues that arise, please fill out a work order through School Tools with the cart number and system number.
- It would be a very good idea to assign each student a number from the cart. There is a longer delay when a student logs on to a system for the first time. Using the same system each time will help mitigate this delay. There is a computer roll sheet available down below to help you in this matter.
Security
- Keep the carts locked when the systems are not in use.
- Return all systems to the cart at the end of each day for security and charging purposes.
- Do not allow the systems to leave the classroom for which they were reserved. The staff member that reserved the cart is responsible for each tablet.
- Allow sufficient time for the students to replace the tablets/Chromebooks before the bell rings. Make sure all systems and keyboards (if applicable) are accounted for before any student leaves your classroom.
