Subs and technology

ALL SUBS

• HAVE their OWN log-ins to your computer.  DO NOT ever give out YOUR login or a computer logged in as you.
• CAN get a laptop from me in the morning when they arrive.  BUT they will need to know if they need one or not based on YOUR lesson plan in Frontline
• HAVE an @graniteschools.org email
  Please do not use personal e-mails/phones for subs.  Work is work.  Home is home. 
  ​Problem is - You send them a text with a link and they now have it on their phone - NOT on the computer.  Or you send them a personal e-mail with information. You are now forcing them to open THEIR personal e-mail in front of YOUR students on the big screen.  Work is work!

Sub basics
Log in to computer.

• Open Chrome
• Go to the Portal www.portal.graniteschools.org
  • Check Frontline
  • Check e-mail.
  • Canvas?  (Sub does not have access to your class)

Here are some set-ups and BASIC instructions.  Copy your set-up and ADD/edit details as per you and your room!  Be sure the instructions are available to your subs.

1. PC and projector.  Old school (but still works s-l-o-w-l- y!)
   (This should go away as per district but I let you keep them.  Good or bad?  -> YES!)
2. PC and smartboard (still, just a projector!)
3. PC and Boxlight. 
   1. There should be NONE of these - Too old with too new!
4. Laptop and projector with dock (the current standard)
   1. If you leave your laptop - they can use that. All is good.
   2. They can plug their checked out laptop into your dock. ​​​
   3. Dock with external DVD player to show DVD.
5. Laptop and Screenbeam
   1. Turn projector on
   2. Input as HDMI (1 or 2) per room.  Follow instructions on screen! (Windows/K...)
6. Laptop and Boxlight
   1. Do you have your TV set as a monitor in your dock?
   2. Don't have them use Unplug'd from a sub laptop unless you leave the the IP address of your TV!
   3. Plug HDMI and USB wires in
      This might be easier since the sub may not know the name of your boxlight!)
7. Boxlight ONLY  (easiest for subs.)
   1. Have the sub use the Guest account on your Boxlight.  You can save documents  and links there.  Probably the easiest thing to do!  
      
   2. On the first gen of boxlights there is NO account feature but they can still use the Boxlight ONLY.
8.  I am sure I am missing some

   5. PE areas
