This document provides guidance for teachers on setting up and managing laptop carts in the classroom. It outlines expectations for proper handling of laptops, establishing classroom procedures for distribution and collection, troubleshooting common technical issues, and maintaining good relationships with other teachers sharing the carts. The goal is to avoid damaged equipment, chaos, and frustration by clearly communicating rules and standardizing practices across all classrooms using the shared carts.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

3. What we want to
avoid...
Damaged/Missing
computers
Chaos (jumbled cords,
computers out of
order)
Frustration
4. Before using the cart
with students
Physical set-up of cart
Explicitly teaching and reinforcing
expectations to students (!!!!!!!)
Rehearse procedures
Establish common expectations with all
teachers using the cart
5. Physical Set-Up
Clearly label each slot with the number of
the laptop
Both sides, bottom of slot
Wrap cords
Loop around to prevent students from
being able to pull them all the way
out.
6. Before you can teach the rules, you have to know them…
Student Expectations
Before using a laptop students and their
parents have to sign an Internet Acceptable
Use Policy (IAUP).
The expectations outlined in the IAUP should
also be explicitly taught to students prior to
using the carts.
All expectations should be regularly
reinforced. Consequences for failing to meet
these expectations MUST be enforced.
7. The Official Rules
from September 2010 newsletter
Basic Handling/Care:
To carry the laptop, close the screen and use
two hands, holding it to your chest.
Always place the laptop in the middle of your
desk. It should be flat and never on top of
anything else.
Note: Some older laptops are missing the
rubber pads on the bottom and slide easily,
which equals laptops crashing to the ground.
Keep your hands on your own laptop
Issue: students reaching over and turning off
another student’s laptop
Never slam the lid to the laptop. This can
disconnect the screen and cannot be fixed.
Keep ALL food/candy/gum/drinks away from
laptops.
8. Operational Use
Students must always show the bottom
dock that shows which windows are
open.
No sound/music on the computer unless
permission is given
Bandwidth!!
Go only to appropriate sites related to
assignment.
No right to privacy on school laptops
When a teacher (or any adult) asks you
to close the laptop, you should comply
immediately.
Do not download anything without the
permission of the teacher.
9. General Responsibility
Laptops must be kept in your
possession at all times. They should
not be given to other students.
Student must check in/check out
their computer.
NOTE: We have been asked by
the administration to not loan out
computers from our cart to
students in other rooms. Laptops
from your cart should remain in
the same room as the cart.
10. Consequences
Depending on the severity of offense:
Jupiter Grades Referral/Parent Contact
Laptop Timeout
Student is still responsible for the
same or similar work using a pencil
and paper.
Typical Offense: Repeated off task
behavior, touching another student’s
laptop, taking a laptop not assigned
to them, etc.
Loss of Laptop Privileges in Classroom
Student cannot be trusted to abide
by laptop policies and/or has
damaged laptop beyond repair due to
neglect or misuse.
11. Classroom Procedures
Each student should be assigned a computer that
they will use in your room. Post several copies of
the assignments in the area where you keep your
cart so they can be easily seen by students.
Example on next slide
Blank version to be shared with all teachers.
12.
13. Check for damage, report missing keys
Students are responsible for their laptops.
They should quickly inspect their laptop when
they check it out and immediately report any
damage. The last person using it (who does
not report damage) is held accountable.
Tip: Mark any existing damage/missing keys
with post it on lid of computer
While students are using laptops, circulate!!!
Maintaining visibility of student screens cuts
down on most issues.
- Don’t turn the laptops off, just close the lid. This
saves valuable class time.
14. Practice taking computers in/out of the cart
without damaging computers. Return computers to
the correct slot and plug in.
Once these procedures have been taught and
rehearsed you can delegate some of the
responsibility by training a laptop cart monitor
(do-gooder student or one willing to work
for candy).
Give yourself enough time at the end of the
period (approximately 3-5 minutes) to collect
laptops. No student should leave the classroom
until all laptops have been returned to the cart.
15. Tech Issues
• Teach students how to fix common laptop issues
themselves.
• Identify the “techy” students and have them
available to assist students.
16. Teach these steps to students
If there is a problem with the laptop:
Step 1: Do not close the laptop or return
it to the cart.
Step 2: Identify the specific problem.
(i.e. the internet connection is not
working – “It’s broken!!” isn’t specific)
Step 3: Attempt to problem solve through
troubleshooting methods taught in class.
Step 4: Raise your hand and wait for the
teacher
* If you (the teacher) can’t fix it (or don’t
have time), put a sticky note with a
description of the problem and what has
been tried so it will save time later.
17. How to solve common laptop problems
http://queenscollegiatetech.wikispaces.com/
-Select troubleshoot
-Read through/familiarize yourself with info
- Updates will be made to site to reflect new
technology/common issues as they arise.
- If Internet is down you can’t access page – I
am working on making handouts of this info for
all teachers. You can also hang posters for
students -- see samples of posters in room 218
18.
19. Most Important!!
- Carts get returned to home teacher at
the end of the day!
- All teachers are responsible for
reporting any damage/missing
computers immediately. The home
teacher should also check at the end of
the day.
20. Keeping Good Relationships with Colleagues
Common Frustrations:
Laptop cart is a mess (tangled cords,
laptops out of order, programs
downloaded, crumbs, keys switched, etc.)
So many laptops are broken that
you don’t have enough for all of your
students
To Prevent This:
Return the cart in the condition you
found it.
Communicate!! I would be happy to help
mediate any issues.
