 Atwood-Hammond High School

 You are given access to the school’s computer network as a privilege, not a right.  Any work done using your school account is a representation of this school and must remain school appropriate.  You are responsible for your username and password.  You are responsible for anything (good or bad) that happens from your login.  Some words of advice: Keep your password PRIVATE!

 One that you can remember. o Use acronyms to help you remember your password: 10sNE1? (Tennis anyone?) Ilmd,M&S (I love my dogs, Max & Spot)  One that has a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.  One that is changed often. o Get in the habit of changing your password every week/month/quarter or when you think your privacy has been compromised.

 Press and hold [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del]  Click on Change Password  Enter old password (school)  Enter new password  Enter new password again  OK

 “[You will be expected to follow guidelines which require] efficient, ethical and legal utilization of the network resources.” o Acceptable Use – supports education and research. o Privileges – inappropriate use will result in cancellation of use. o Security – notify teacher/principal, do not show, solve, or abuse. o Netiquette – be polite and appropriate. Do not disrupt. o Vandalism – harming data, equipment, network.  “If a student user violates any of these provisions, appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken, including termination of access.” ~ Student Handbook

 Click on File / Print / Select appropriate printer.  Only press Print ONCE. o The network will place your print job in a queue (line) and will print it when all other print jobs in front of it are finished. o If it doesn’t print: Check to make sure printer is on. If it was off, turn it on and wait. You do not need to press print again. The network has already placed your print job in the queue. It will print. Check to see if any lights are flashing on the printer. If lights are flashing, read the prompt. Maybe the printer is simply out of paper or there may be a paper jam. If other jobs are printing, but not yours, your print job hasn’t reached the front of the queue yet. Wait. If there is absolutely no activity coming from the printer, ask a teacher.

 When printing, always preview the print job by pressing on the Print Preview icon. o From here you can see what will print and make any necessary changes such as orientation, pages, selection.  Check to see how many pages are scheduled to print. o If more pages are set to print than what you need: 1.Enter only the Pages you want to print. [1,3,6] or [5-12] 2.Highlight the text/picture you Want to print, then print Selection.

 Save all your work to the H:/drive. o H:/12rbrown/…  Saving to My Documents doesn’t always save to your H:/ drive. o For example, sometimes the network will not recognize your account even though you were able to log in. When this happens, your work gets saved to the computer’s hard drive. o ALWAYS make sure you can access your H:/drive.  It is best to use the Save As command rather than the Save command. o Save As gives you one last chance to confirm what you are doing before overwriting a saved document. o Save As also gives you the opportunity to make a duplicate copy of a document in another location, such as a flash drive.

 Insert your flash drive before logging on to a computer.  When saving to a flash drive, make sure you select the proper drive before saving.  To eject a flash drive: o Click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon located on the bottom right of the task bar. o Choose the correct USBMass Storage Device Drive. o Click on it, OK. Do Not Remove a Flash Drive by Pulling it out of the USB Port.
