Many are cracked, and/or broken. It was my understanding that these were one-year disposable add-ons. Do we just pitch the broken ones? Are we pitching all of them? Is there an expectation that students will continue using them? If so, do we have to make sure students get the same one they had? Do we have to clean the Gumdrop cases? What if they are covered with stickers? Why are there so many questions about Gumdrop cases?]]> 2019-04-13 22:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/rjferraro/April15jobalike/wish/351411186 Chromebooks https://padlet.com/rjferraro/April15jobalike/wish/351411623 When will we know how many of our students are attending Summer School? Does that mean everyone that is attending our school is "our" student? Or just the ones who attend during the regular school year? Will students from other schools bring devices from their schools for summer school?]]> 2019-04-13 22:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rjferraro/April15jobalike/wish/351411623 Chromebook Storage https://padlet.com/rjferraro/April15jobalike/wish/351411743 Are we going to be given carts to store our Chromebooks or are we supposed to build shelving to store 600 plus devices? Is it true they are not supposed to be stored on the ground?

Do we bring carts to the library?
Should labels be removed?
The fifth grade classrooms at my school do not have carts. Do I store their devices in a safe place and have the summer school students use different devices?

Will the "regular" school librarian be told who is working at the school so that information about locks can be shared?

Will summer school staff be given the time and training to add and remove accounts?

The person hired as the LMTS did not have any LMTS experience and left things in disarray.
