Technology Recycling


 

REMINDER:  All technology recycling/discards will be picked up between October 18-29, 2021.  Please have all discards ready for pick up by this Friday.  Please review our Technology Discard / Recycle Procedures document for some very important reminders.   


*Projector Bulbs - We made arrangements for your loose projector bulbs to be picked up.  Carefully pack your projector bulbs in a box and place them in a separate area away from your technology discards.  Please be sure to mark clearly on the box, "WARNING:  BULBS WITH MERCURY INSIDE.  HANDLE WITH CARE."  Next, key an IT Direct work order for your tech to pick them up. Due to serious health and safety risks, NEVER handle the bulbs more than absolutely necessary.  If you are discarding a projector, please do not remove the bulb.  Simply place the projector (as is) with the regular technology discards.  Our techs will only be picking up loose projector bulbs.    


Our next pick up will be March 14-25, 2022.

1 -  Send a detailed list of items for discard to Michelle Turnage and/or Christa Leverette. (Item, count, model, etc.)  

2 - NEW Tape (securely tape, not a sticky note) a label/note on each item with your name, date, and reason for discard suchs as refresh, damaged, cracked screen, non functional etc.    

Email MIchelle Turnage if you have any questions or need help and thank your for cooperation and assistance to streamline this process.

BOY Media & Tech Meeting

We will be holding our Beginning of the Year Media & Tech Meeting on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 in the AG Glenn Team Room.  For your convenience, there will be two meetings with the same content.  The first meeting will be 2:45-4:00 and the second meeting will be 4:15-5:30.  This meeting is mandatory for all CTAs to maintain rights.  We have some really important updates. And with that being said, we need for every school to bring 5 sheets of your school's (Follett/Destiny) resource barcodes to this meeting!  There should be 42-43 per sheet.  See you tomorrow!

NCTest and Chromebook Reminders


With state testing approaching, it is important to begin preparing chromebooks to ensure they meet the minimum state testing technical requirements. We have determined there are some schools with over 100 devices below the minimum requirements.  The current required OS version is 58 or higher.  

How do I check the chrome OS version?

type chrome://help in the address bar 




In the above example, the chrome version is 63 and acceptable for use meeting state testing requirements. The latest up-to-date version available is version 65. Even though this example meets the minimum acceptable requirements for state testing go ahead and click "CHECK FOR UPDATES" to bring the chromebook up to the latest up-to-date version.

*Spring Discard / Recycle Reminder*

Just a friendly reminder to have all discards ready no later than Thursday, April 5 for pick up.  

Also...
  • Please make sure the records for your discards are properly updated in Destiny (retired status with retired date)  
  • Hard drives for admin PCs are removed 
  • Be sure there are not any items than can be trashed (CDs, cartridges, plastic items, etc.) in the pile
  • Let your front desk/receptionist know where the equipment will be stored for pick up
  • TVs should be in a separate pile
  • Clearly mark your discard/recycle pile (to prevent any accidental recycling)

Reminder about Discards




Just a friendly reminder that discards should be gathered in one location at your site no later than first thing this Monday, February 27, for pick-up.  Please let others know (receptionist, etc.) where it is in case you are not available when they come.  I am not sure where they are starting with the pick-ups, but the items should be gone within a couple of weeks.

If you do not have any discards at your location, please let me know so Facility Services will not be wasting a trip.

If you are discarding ipads or chromebooks they need to be deprovisioned.  If you will send the serial number for these items to April Richardson she will take care of this part for you.    

PLEASE make sure you mark each item as retired in Destiny and put the date in the retired date field.  As long as the item was not purchased out of Title I, ESL, or another program that tracks purchases, you can delete the record once it has been updated.  However, it is not required.  If the item has been marked as lost in Destiny, call me at 1011 and I will walk you through adding it back into the system.  

After this pick-up, you will store your discards in your area until the next all-call which will probably be mid-Fall.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Thank you for helping with this project!

Here are 2 reminder documents:

Reminder: Please Encourage Your Staff to Claim Their CloudIAM Accounts!

Please be reminded that all staff who access PowerSchool or PowerTeacher must claim their account before they leave for the summer. This includes administration staff.

The most common issue we have had is that staff are trying to login or reset their account once they click on the CLOUD IAM link. They must click on the "Claim My Account" button as pictured below.



On July 6th, 2015 you will need to use a new NCEdCloud IAM account to access PowerSchool and the Home Base suite.

The NCEdCloud IAM account is a single-sign on service that is mandated by DPI. The process to claim your account is simple and takes just a few minutes. Your new account is based on your current PowerSchool UserID number. All staff must claim their accounts prior to July 6th, 2015 or they will be unable to access PowerSchool or the Home Base suite until they claim their account.

One benefit to this process is that teachers will have access to their student's usernames and passwords to aid in access to PowerSchool.

To help you prepare your staff, we have created a step-by-step training video as well as a flyer for you to share.

Please help us get the word out about this important process to minimize disruptions next year.

Here is the three-minute instructional video (click here for the direct link):

Email Signature


We would like for you to continue to encourage your staff to add their signature to their email account.

In order to do this it is just a few steps.  They will also need to add it to any clients that they use to send messages - ipad, phone, etc.

To add your Signature:
1. Open your Google Mailbox and go to the settings
2. On the General Tab - scroll to the bottom and find the signature box.
3. Please be sure to include - Name, Title, School, Phone number if you have a direct line
4. Scroll to the very bottom and SAVE your changes.
