laptop-cart-protocols

= = =Laptop Protocols= Mr. Sniscak has asked the PHS technology committee to develop a plan for managing the CFF laptop carts. A very informative link, focused on laptop initiatives, may be found at http://projects.cbe.ab.ca/sss/ilscommunity/learningspaces/wireless_bpmanaging.asp Please read this to aid in our discussion. Since laptop carts will be available for use in the beginning of the second semester, we should develop a unified set of procedures/protocols in caring for our CFF laptops to reduce damage and maximize student use. The following are headings from the web page article above.
