1. Year 9 Laptop Rollout 2011
Digital Education Revolution

2. Welcome to the Revolution
3. The User Charter
This is an agreement that students have read and understood their responsibilities.
The charter must also be signed by parents or carers.
The charter includes a commitment to take the laptop home each day and bring it back to school the next day fully charged.
4. The User Charter
Failure to follow the rules of the User Charter may mean the laptop must be returned to school.
Students will then only have on-site access to their laptop they will pick it up from and drop it off to the TSOs office every day until they can prove they are deserving of full access once more.
5. Technical Support
The DER program is committed to providing a full time Technology Support Officer (TSO) to our school.
At Richmond HS our TSO is Mr Sam Don and his office is located in the library.
6. Wireless Connectivity
The laptops are wireless enabled, which means they can be used to connect to the internet in the library, the playground and in the classroom.
7. Internet Safety
Your child can't access unauthorised internet content. The Department of Education filters are applied to the laptop at school and home.
Your child can also use their school laptop to access the web safely from home if you have an internet connection at home.
8. Connecting at Home
At home, students can connect to the Internet wirelessly or via internet cable.
The laptops will not connect to mobile wireless dongles as they wont install the software to run them.
9. Built-In Security
The laptops will be remotely monitored and managed wherever they are. What's more, a stolen laptop can be disabled and the thieves tracked and prosecuted. These safety measures protect your child by removing any incentive for theft.
10. Moving around
Treat the laptop like you would your wallet. Don't leave it lying around.
Carry the laptop inside your school bag when travelling to and from school. Avoid using it in public.
Be sure nothing is stacked or thrown on top of the laptop.
Tell the school immediately if the laptop needs repairs, or is stolen, lost or damaged.
11. Usingyour laptop
Don't drop the laptop, get it wet, or leave it outdoors. Avoid using it with food or drink.
Put the laptop on a solid surface if you are using it for a long time. Resting it on a pillow or other soft material might block the airflow vents and cause it to overheat.
Take care not to leave anything, like a pen, between the screen and the keyboard when closing the laptop.
12. Back It Up
Students should back up the important information on their laptop regularly and/or when they take their laptop to the TSO.
Data can be backed up to a small USB storage device or a larger external hard drive.
13. Regular Updates
From time to time laptops will need to be returned to the TSO for updates.
These updates may take place in a few days or even over holiday breaks.
14. Remember: recharge!
Recharge the battery each night. While charging, place it on a hard surface like the dining table or kitchen bench. Don't charge it near water.
When using or charging the laptop, it's normal for the bottom of the case to get warm.
Take care with the charger. Don't step on or yank the cord.
Unplug the laptop if there's an electrical storm.
