A lot of the 2.0 tools I'd like to use require the user to set up an account. Do your students have their own accounts? And if so, do they use them to sign up on sites like Prezi, Scratch,…Continue

noelle1066 replied to Michelle Renner's discussion Qualifications for your position"Hmm, sounds like me.... I am the first line of tech support, I do ordering, contacting our network company/alerting them to problems, and I teach 2 sections each of K5-8th grade.

noelle1066 replied to Lorie's discussion Online Books: Tumblebooks vs. RazKids???"Our K4 teacher uses Raz-kids, which seems like a good site and easily used by 4-5 year olds. They like to look at how many points they've earned from reading. I've never used Tumblebooks, though."
Amanda Paige replied to noelle1066's discussion printers, ugh"Well, part of the problem with my issues is that there is no way to tell who is printing what."
Melanie Nichols replied to noelle1066's discussion printers, ugh"Can you set a copy limit? With our copiers we can set a limit, and teachers have to be more careful of what they print.

I'm curious as to what other schools do.....all of our teachers have their own printer, and as a former classroom teacher, I definitely see the benefit. However, I've already replaced 3 printers this year, the cartridges seem to run out quickly, and someone's always having problems with theirs. I'm the only tech support, so I'm wondering if this is worth the hassle and cost - the school pays for the printers and ink, and the myriad of tech support problems leaves me little time to plan for…See More
Jacquelyn Smith replied to noelle1066's discussion Activboard pens, problems in the group Promethean Boards/Activinspire"After trying all my different trouble shooting ideas, I am usually just dealing with loose connections because students have bumped cords or moved the connected lap tops. Loose cords can cause a change in color both in the flame and the projected…"

noelle1066 replied to Lauren Boyer's discussion Locking Desktop Icons"I have the same problem with icons being moved around, older students messing with the desktop, etc. I was told that the IT dept could set a policy so that kids only had certain permissions.

"You could deactivate your email, then just put it in again if you were completely worried about it. They may be so into what ever app they are doing that email is the least of their worries. Not sure what I would do!"
"No, I do not think you are overly concerned. They should not have access to any personal information.
