Lesson 2-Top Three Rules for using the laptops in your classroom

 

Objectives: 

The learner will:

  • State who is responsible for “possession” of laptops while in classroom
  • State who is responsible for packing/unpacking laptops in classroom
  • Classify examples of Proper and Improper supervision of laptops
  • State the Top Three Rules for using the laptops in the classroom
  • Choose to follow Top Three Rules of use of laptops in classroom

 

 

Ok, this is very important.  These are the Top Three Rules when using the laptops in your classroom. Following these rules will help ensure that the laptops are well maintained and continue to be a very useful tool for the students at CFCI.

 

Top Three Rules

 

1.  The teacher is ultimately responsible for unpacking and packing up the laptops.

 

2.  When you have the cart in your room, DO NOT allow students that are not in your class to come in and “borrow” a laptop by removing it from your classroom.

 

3.  In order to properly care for the laptops, it is important to SUPERVISE what each student is doing on the laptop that they are using.

 

Proper supervision in this case means:

 

  • Within your classroom while using the laptops

 

  • Using them on a table top, not on the floor

 

  • You should be able to see the computer screens of each laptop without walking around the room too frequently

 

 

Remember that if you choose to follow the Top Three Rules it will take care of the laptops (equipment) which will help all students and teachers at CFCI.  

 

Here are just a few ways that choosing to follow the Top Three Rules will help the community:

 

  • $-less money spent on repairs, ordering parts, etc.  

 

  • Equipment will be in tact for next user-saves time

 

  • Proper use = reduced frustration of teachers

 

  • ________________________________ (think of another benefit or two)

 

 

 

Summary: 

 

  • The Top Three Rules are:

 

1. Supervise use carefully by having kids in your classroom and computer screens in            your view

 

2. Do not allow students from other classes to take a laptop out of your room while you have the cart

 

3. The TEACHER is ultimately responsible to unpack & pack up laptops

 

  • Choosing to follow the Top Three Rules will help the CFCI community in several ways.  A few of which are $, time, less frustration.

 

 

 

Lesson 2

Review questions:

 

5.  Is it ok to allow students from another class to borrow a laptop from you? 

            Yes      No    (circle one)

 

6.  In terms of supervision, read each statement below and write a P if it is an example of Proper supervision & I if it is Improper

 

a.  __________ Each of your students is working on the laptops at their desks, you are                                            sitting at your desk with your back to them

 

b.  __________ You have two students working on the laptops in a chair in the hallway

 

c.  __________ A few students are working on the laptops in the commons area

 

d.  __________ Five of your students are working together on a project, on the laptop,                                             on the floor

 

e.  _________ Your students are all working on the laptops at their desks or table tops,                                           you are able to see all screens/computers without moving around                                             the room too       frequently

 

7.  T or F   The students are ultimately responsible to unpack/pack up the laptops on to                                 the cart

 

8.  Choosing to follow the Top Three Rules will benefit the CFCI community in what ways, name 3 very briefly

Super! 
Move on to Lesson 3

 

 

 

 

 

Lesson 3-Procedures to Properly Unpack Laptops

 

Objectives: 

The learner will:

  • Demonstrate unpacking laptops properly in the classroom

Ų      State the first thing that you should do with the laptop cart in your classroom

Ų      Identify the power cord on the laptops

Ų      Execute unhooking each power cord and handing out each laptop one at a time

 

Ok, you’ve got the cart in your room and now that you know the lock combinations you are all set.

 

The next steps may seem simple but following these procedures properly is very important. The power cords can be easily damaged. 

 

Also, if you follow them in order it will help you to make it a routine. 

 

The first thing that you need to do when you get the laptop cart in your room is:

 

Plug the cart in to a power outlet

 

Open the doors to the cart.

 

The next step is to find the power cord that charges the laptops.  Look at the picture below.  The area where the power cord connects to the laptop is identified with the arrow.

 

Power cord

 
 


 

 

After you locate the power cord, carefully unhook the cord and hand out the laptops to your students, one at a time. **(Remember each student should have an assigned #)**

 

 

So, that is it for UNPACKING procedures.

 

Summary:

To demonstrate properly unpacking the laptops from the cart you just need to

  • Plug the cart into a power outlet
  • Carefully unhook each power cord
  • Hand out laptops one at a time

 

 

Lesson 3

Review Questions:

 

9.  Circle or highlight where the laptop power cord plugs into the laptop on the picture           below.

 

 

 

 

10.  The first thing that you need to do with the cart when you get it into your classroom is ______________________.

 

 

 

 

 

Fantastic!
Move on to Lesson 4

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lesson 4- Using the Laptops-Basic Operations of Hardware and Software

 

Objectives:

  • Demonstrate logging on to laptops properly
  • State location and purpose of the dock on the laptop
  • Identify the Internet Application Icon and state its name
  • Identify Microsoft Word application icon
  • Demonstrate properly opening an application on the laptop
  • Demonstrate the rule for properly closing out of a running application/program on the laptop
  • Demonstrate proper logout of operating system
  • Demonstrate proper shut down procedure of operating system

 

Ok, now you are ready to go.  You have the laptop out in front of you.  Just so you know the model laptop that you are using is an I-Book.  The information presented after this point may refer to the laptop as the I-Book.

 

Once, you have the I-Book unpacked and on a table top/desk in front of you, what do you need to do next?

 

Open up the screen and push the button to turn it on, but the next procedure is:

 

Logging On- to do so simply click the correct user icon with a single click.  The passwords are no longer necessary for typical use (both student and teacher)

 

Now you are logged onto the operating system of the I-book.   This allows you access all of the computers applications. 

 

 

Macintosh/Apples use a “dock” to organize and display the applications.

 

Look at the picture below.  The dock is indicated by the arrows.  It is located along the bottom edge of the laptop screen. Some docks are much smaller in size until you run your cursor over them then they expand to be larger. 

Dock-arrow shows blue strip containing application icons

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The applications that the I-Book contains are located on the dock.  Just like any other function the applications can be accessed or opened with a single click. 

 

You will learn the two applications that are most frequently used at this time at CFCI as the purpose of this lesson is to teach you the procedures to access and use the very basic operations of the I-Book.

 

The Internet browser that you will use on the I-Book is called Internet Explorer

 

It is found on the dock.

 

The icon for Internet Explorer is:

 

Just think of this—e for Explorer.  Easy to remember, right? This is your Internet application.   

 

 

 

 

The second application that you will learn today is for word processing. The application is:  Microsoft Word.

 

It is also found on the dock.

 

The icon for Microsoft Word is:

 

Just think of this—it may be an odd looking W but it is a W.

W = Word.  This is your word processing program.

 
 

 

 

**Remember to open Word or Internet Explorer just single click the icon on the dock**

 

Once you have an application open the possibilities of things to do are endless.  But, that is not the purpose of this module.  So, let’s presume that you have done what you need to do and you want to close out of an application. 

 

How do you do that?  There are a few ways.  You will learn one way to easily remember it and to make it simple.  If you do not properly close out of an application it may continue to run and hide on you.  Can they do that?  The “Techno gods” say yes-J

 

 

The reason that this is important is because if a program continues to run without you knowing, it will:

1.  Slow down your machine

2.  If it’s hidden and you try to open it again, it won’t open and you may not be able to see this on your screen.  Therefore, the program will not open.

 

So, to close out any running application hit the open apple and Q buttons AT THE SAME TIME .    

 

The open apple key looks like this                  z     AND hit Q  (FOR QUIT) AT THE SAME TIME

 

After you have properly QUIT a program-

You NEED TO LOG OUT of the operating system. 

 

To do that there are 3 simple steps to follow:

 

            1.  Click the blue apple icon located in the upper left hand corner of the screen as      shown below

 

             

 

            2.  Click the words “log out”

 

           

 

            3.  A small menu of options will appear, click “log out” again

 

 


           

 

Now you just need to properly shut down the I-Book. 

 

Properly shutting down will ensure that they laptops continue to run properly. 

Now that you have logged out, the main screen will appear.

 

At this point you just need to click shut down.

 

            1.  At the main screen which looks like this:

 

           

             

 

            2.  Click the words “shut down

 

             

 

Once the screen is completely black you may close the screen of the I-Book.     

 

 

That covers the VERY BASIC operating procedures to access the I-Books.

 

 

 

Summary:

  • To log on single click on the user (teacher or student)

 

  • The dock is used to organize and display the applications

 

 

  • The dock is located along the bottom edge of the laptop screen

 

  • The Internet browser that you will use on the I-Book is called Internet Explorer

 

 

  • The icon for Internet Explorer is:

     

      

 

  • The icon for Microsoft Word is:

 

 

 

  • To close out any running application hit the open apple and Q buttons AT THE SAME TIME .  Again,    z     AND   Q  (FOR QUIT) AT THE SAME TIME

 

  • To LOG OUT of the operating system, there are 3 simple steps to follow:

 

            1.  Click the blue apple icon located in the upper left hand corner of the screen

 

            2.  Click the words “log out”

 

            3.  A small menu of options will appear, click “log out” again



  • In order to shut down the I-Book the procedure is to:

 

            1.  Click the blue apple icon

 

            2.  Click the words “shut down”

 

            3.  A small menu of options will appear, click “shut down”
