Help• Technology Support Request• Website Submission Form

Help• We have an extra tech for our building for a few weeks, so you need

to call 414-8324 (414-TECH) to put in a Heat Ticket AND do the Google Form.

• Our tech person checks in with me each morning, so if you don’t complete the Google Form, you aren’t on My List.

Share Drive• Technology folder in the S Drive in “My

Computer” has many documents and handouts you may need throughout the year concerning technology

• Clean out folders in the S Drive. I will be going through and removing unused items. This is not for your personal files, only department items and school-wide items to be shared.

COWS – Netbook Carts• Pick up your cart in the library.• If you did NOT have a cart last year, do not pick

one up.• I will be rearranging some carts to make sure we

have an adequate amount throughout the building.

• You should have access to 3-4 carts per hallway (3rd floor stores many in offices)

COWS – Netbook Use• Print out the accountability forms from the S

Drive. Mandatory to use them. We can not have these resources disappearing because of lack of supervision.

• Netbooks must be stored with the narrow side up to protect the screens.

• Teachers should put them away, NOT students. This ensures they are put away gently and helps make sure they are all returned before class is dismissed.

Keys• I have Innovation Station Keys and Netbook Cart

Keys (they are the same key) available.• Only available if you have one of these items in

your room.• I only have a limited number.• When you check out the cart from a teacher’s

room, you will need to get a key from them if you don’t have one or have them unlock it for you.

The Cloud• http://my.austinisd.org• Single sign-on for all district apps• Access to H and S drives from at home

• Can change your start page when you open your browser to something else, if you don’t like to start with the cloud.
