Caring for Your Klein ISD DeviceLaptop usage in the classroom

•When the laptop is on the *docking station in your classroom, the battery is being charged. •Wireless should be turned off when the laptop is on the docking station. The docking station should be hard-wired (Ethernet cable) to the network. •It is important to be hard-wired when downloading information or streaming video.•Be sure to close programs before removing laptop from docking station.•Close eInstruction database before removing laptop from the docking station and/or walking around the building with the laptop.

Keeping Your Laptop Clean

Your laptop should be turned off when cleaning.

The laptop screen can be ruined if any chemicals are used on it.

The best thing to use on the screen is a dry microfiber cloth, like those used to clean eye glasses.

Do not use paper towels, ammonia, or strong cleaners on the screen under any circumstances.

Use only plain water and a soft cloth to remove smudges on the outside of the laptop, keyboard, or touchpad.

Using Your Laptop with EfficiencyPin your favorite software titles to your taskbar by

right clicking and selecting “Pin to Taskbar.”Download your favorite program titles from

Software Center (do when hardwired).Pin all three browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome,

and Firefox) to taskbar so you can easily switch among them.

Microsoft Outlook (for email) will need signature placed for this computer.

Some Helpful Windows 7 TipsWindows Button + P ---helps if you have

issues connecting to ProjecterWindows Button + E---helps you see

Everything (N drive, Kleinshare, all folders)Windows Rectangle- On the right side of your

clock at the bottom right. This toggle button allows you to easily get to your desktop.

Sticky Notes- Great tool for “to-do” items. Click your Windows Start button and type in “Sticky Notes” to bring up program.

Access at HomeThe preferred method of connection is to hard-wire

your laptop to your home network. If you choose to connect wirelessly and have issues,

Klein ISD help desk is unable to help you. Contact the individual that set up your wireless system at home for assistance.

Remember Kleinet is set to be your homepage — it will never be able to be displayed from home. Enter another website in the address bar (such as google) to test connectivity.

Web browsing on your laptop always goes through the Klein filter – even at home.

You will probably be unable to print at home – most printers require a driver to be installed, and you are unable to install any software.
