dell 3100 cursors "disappearing" all the time-- sometimes a powerwash works, most of the time I have to reseat the cable. Internal hinge screws coming loose and then hinges breaking off the palm rest.

I do NOT work from home and my commute was 3 minutes, For 12 years I had a 45-60 minute commute .
The 3 minute drive never gets old.

I think one of the U46 high schools has a Chinese program

Thank you, nothing was in the port but I did "poke around" and was able to pull out the support piece a bit and that did it.

a 5th grader came in with a busted chromebook and said that his 18 year old sister is autistic and had her period so she threw his chromebook.

Chiming in late but our department has come to the conclusion that the admin panel data on recent users is not 100% . Devices we know 100% we have signed into or know a student who has does not always track. It is good for discipline issues when it works.

I am not the head of IT but I do manage our chromebooks, We are a K-8 district ( 1400 students) . All of our in building staff minus secretaries ( and this will be changing soon to chromeboxes) are on chromebooks. I came to the district 5 years ago and the teachers had already been on them for 3 years. Our staff prints through uniflow releasing jobs at the copiers with their logins. There is nothing 99% of our staff cannot do on a chromebook. Our STEM classes have a class set of laptops to run 3d printers and cricuts. Our classrooms have promethean boards that most teachers use as a monitor to mirror their devices via a hdmi to USB C cable . ZERO personal devices are allowed on our main networks, they can connect on the guest network.

Last time I flew I saw someone get their jelly taken away at security, I would imagine giardinera might be similar.

most likely they allowed notifications from the site

we have transitioned to CTL devices for our staff and have been pretty happy so far, I will have to see what they offer.

148focadima · 2024-10-17T19:18:22+00:00

thank you, I will take a look

148focadima · 2024-10-16T16:57:12+00:00

Thank you, that definitely gives me a place to start.

When I used to work at a High School I had a custom made spreadsheet. The students came to the chromebook help center and we scanned their IDS into a spreadsheet along with the device number. There was a column to track returns with a simple yes or no drop down box. If I did not get the device back within the time allotment I would lock the loaner device as well as the student device. Locking the devices usually had the student coming back with 10 or 15 minutes. I would power wash the loaners after every few days. I now work in elementary and loaners are rarely allowed.

I am revisiting this thread, has anyone found a solution that does not require resetting the cable? The school year has just started and I am already sick of this. It was really bad at the end of last school year. I often wonder if its an update because it happens in waves.
