Classroom Laptops Training
Westover Hills Elementary School - 2012
Keeping laptops clean Clean your hands before using the
laptops. NO food or drink when you are using
the laptops!!
Laptop numbers
• A laptop will be assigned to you.• You will use only this laptop unless
otherwise instructed by your teacher.• You will use the same laptop each time
we use the computers.
Pick-up Procedures• Prior to leaving your desk, clear all
chairs and backpacks from the aisles! Put away pencils and pens.
• 2 students at the cart at one time &
2 students waiting. • The next students should be ready to
step up to the cart, creating a
steady flow of traffic.
Returning to your Desk
Walk holding the laptop with both hands and against your body.
Returning to your Desk
Place the laptop carefully on your desk/table before sitting down.
Do not open the laptop until asked to do so.
If you walk away from your desk, partially close the laptop and make sure it is in the middle of your desk.
Opening up the Computer
Locate the open button. It is a slender silver button.
Hold the bottom half to stabilize the laptop when opening and closing.
Do NOT touch the screen.
Using the Track Pad or mouse
Your teacher will help you decide if you need to use a mouse or the trackpad. Remember to do what is most comfortable for you.
Inspection
• As soon as you open the laptop, check it over carefully for any damage and report that damage immediately!!!
• Are there any pen marks, scratches, missing keys?

The Desktop
The desktop has a few icons already available for your use. Wait for your teacher to tell you which icon to launch.
When you launch Internet Explorer, you should immediately connect to the internet. If that does not happen, let your teacher know right away.
Shutting Down Quit any open applications. Press the Start button. Click Shut Down on the window that
pops up. Wait for the laptop to shut down
completely. The screen will go black. Close the laptop.
Start Button Shut Down
Putting Laptops Back
Wait for your turn to walk to the cart. Carry the laptop with both hands
following the same procedure as before. Let your teacher place the laptop in its
assigned spot and then let your teacher plug in the power cord. Be sure the mouse gets returned at the same time as the laptop if you used one.
Remember….
Using these computers is a privilege, not a right. It is up to each of us to make sure our laptop cart remains in good condition and all laptops remain in good working order for our daily use.
