Tips and Dos & Don'ts

  1. Do not share your passwords

  2. Turn off electronic devices (monitors, computers, panels, TVs, projectors, etc...) when not in use to prolong the life of the device

  3. Save all your documents/files to your H drive to avoid losing anything in case your technician has to image your computer (this will delete everything including your programs installed locally)

  4. When logging into a computer use YOUR user name and password not somebody else's and do not let anybody else use yours.

  5. Logoff/Logout when leaving a computer you have logged in from, including if you are just "going to be gone for only a couple of minutes". 

  6. Close out applications you are not currently using. Each open application uses CPU processing power.

  7. Use the "web" for instructional purposes

  8. Only be logged into one computer at a time. 

  9. We can not put District Software on a personal equipment/device

10. We can not put personal software on Lex2 equipment/devices

11. Do not listen to music or watch videos via the web during your "down time". Videos are bandwidth hogs, your colleagues may need the bandwidth for instructional needs.

12. Do NOT open email attachments unless you were expecting it. Email the user back and ask if it is indeed from them. Hackers will "fake" an email account in an attempt to trick people into giving out information or to install viruses.
