SMART TECH suggests visting their site to dowload the-

SMART Response interactive response system

 http://smarttech.com/us/Support/Browse+Support/Download+Software

You still need to uninstall all old software, but the smart response software takes the place of the senteo and works with the clickers.  It also installs notebook, and the smart driver.  Make sure you are hooked up to an ethernet cable and not trying to download wirelessly.  The gallery of objects is too big and will take forever.

How to Use Senteo Smart Response

Pull the excel file with your class list onto your desk top.

1. Open your Senteo notebook.
2. At some point, you’ll be asked to name your classroom.  I would recommend just "Teacher_Name" ...i.e. "Schmitt".  Don’t specify AM or PM because the name you give becomes the name for all your classes.  Unfortunately, I can’t remember when it asks for this.  It’s a one-time-only thing.
3. Under Senteo, choose Senteo Manager.
4. Under File, choose Import Class From then Microsoft Excel.
5. Find the first file and click on it.
6. The kids’ names should appear in the Manager.
7. Under File, click Save and name your file.
8. When you turn on the clickers (make sure the sensor that comes with the Senteo system is plugged into your computer), it will make a guess at what class you want.  If it doesn’t show whatever you’ve named your classroom (Rocklage?), you have to go down to Find a Class.  After you’ve gotten your class, you have to put in their ID number.  I always assign clicker #1 to kid #1 and so on.  That makes it easier to put in their IDs.
9. Go ahead with the quiz.
10. After you’re finished, go to Senteo at the top of the page and choose Export Results To and choose where you want the results to end up.  Don’t forget this step!!  If you don’t do this, you lose all your scores.

How to Save Documents to the K Drive

Make sure all of the files and folders that you wish to save are in your "My Documents" folder. Any files and folders that are on your desktop should be dragged or copied and pasted into your "My Documents" folder which is located on your desktop. (Copying and pasting is safer)

You can right mouse click on any files or folders on your desktop, choose copy and then right mouse click on My Documents located on your desktop and choose paste.

Once that is done, do the following:

- Locate your "My Documents" folder on your desktop and double click on it.

- With this folder open, go to Edit and click.

- From the drop down list click on Select All. (Now all your items are highlighted)

- Go back to Edit and click.

- From the drop down list click on Copy.

- Go back to your desktop and double click My Computer.

- Find and double click your "K" drive.

- Right mouse click in a space inside this folder, being careful not to click on a folder or

  file, and select paste from the drop down list.

Now all of Your Documents are on your "K" drive and will be backed up at night.

Do this often to minimize the chance of losing data if your HD crashes or something happens to your laptop.

* When you do this after the initial time, a prompt will come up telling you a file or folder already exist and do you want to over-ride it. Say yes. After you've done this a few times you can just click "Yes to All".

Keep in mind you only have 1Gb of disk space so placing a lot of pictures or music on your "K" drive will not be good. A good rule of thumb is; Do not place personal pictures in your "My Documents" folder. You can keep these in another folder but they will not be backed up. Only what you save to your "K" drive will be backed up.

If you have pictures or music you wish to safe guard you should burn them to a CD or thumb drive. If you need help with that let your CRS know.

How to Print Labels in Word

Pull up a blank Microsoft Word Document.

Select "Tools" under the toolbar feature. Slide the cursor down to Letters and Mailing. Slide it to the Right and

3. A box will open up. Make sure that the "labels" tab at the top is selected. The default is "envelope", so you must click on the "labels" tab.

Below that, you will see a "print" box. If you want a full page of labels (excellent for Christmas lists, etc.), make sure the "Full Page of Same Label" radio

button is selected. If you only want to do one label, make sure the "Single Label" radio button is selected.

classification number listed on the bottom left corner of the outside of the box. They tend to be 4 digits (ie. 5162 is the number for Avery

White Mailing Labels.)

6. Once you have located your number on the box, find the corresponding number under the "Options Tab." Highlight it. Press Okay.

You will see "New Document" in the upper right hand corner. Press that.

Presto! You can now fill in an entire box of labels and send out very classy looking envelopes!

How to reimage a machine

Before reimaging a machine PLEASE READ THIS POST and backup the machine.

START on page 9 of the CRS Quick Reference Guide.
This is a pretty accurate guide.
One correction is on number 2

2. 1st Screen: Microsoft Windows 98 Startup Menu
Choose the appropriate network card
Most will be #4 (Broadcom B57)
Marvell Yukon option for the 6555b laptop (Image with Office 2010 for new elementary images)
For the laptop model 6715b, use #6 (CORRECTION- use #5)
Press Enter

Registering Procedure Checklist

Before reimaging a machine:
write a ticket to the tech help desk to let them know to delete the machine. Give the name of the machine.
After reimaging the machine
1) log in as an administrator or reg... and rename the machine
2) Go into the I: drive and open the ITAM folder, install ITAM
Restart the machine and log in as REG... and click registerstudent or registerstaff from the Applications Window. Machines that are registered to staff will have the applications automatically pushed out to the machine. Tell the tech help desk to push out the apps for a student registered machine by identifying the group/ room number of the machine. Include what printers to add to the machine and any specialty apps.

Laptop Battery Replacement Procedure

Make sure the computer is plugged in with a power cord. Use HP battery test found in the Control Panel. If there is no charge, write a ticket to the Tech Help desk including the computer name, serial number, and part number. The serial and part number should be that of the computer, not the battery. Print a copy of the ticket and include it with the old battery when sending it back to the help desk. Make a note of the battery replacement in ITAM for your records.

NOTE-  When replacing multiple batteries, enter one ticket for all batteries instead of multiple tickets.  Add all of the info in the notes section or attach a spreadsheet.

"Tree/ Server Cannot be found"

If you get this message when trying to log in to a desktop, the internet cable is probably not connected properly. Check both ends of the cable or try replacing it with another cable. When you see this message on a laptop, the wireless is probably turned off;)

Assigning Printers to Computers in a room/ "Group"

Write the technology help desk and ask for a certain "group", usually associated with the room number in the computer's name, to print to a certain printer/s. This works for laptop carts as well. Use white electrical tape to label each printer by name in the building. This makes it easy for all users to identify the printers.

Installing Printers Using i-Print

Log-in as a teacher or administrator. Type the word "print" into the URL, browser address bar. A list of all of the district printers will appear in alphabetical order. Find your schools printers by locating the printers that start with the abbreviation for your school, i.e. CMS for Central Middle Schoolt. Click the printers that you want to install form the list. Each download takes about 3 minutes. If you are having trouble, select the install i-print from the top part of the screen. Then try again.

Note for CRS:  Printers must be added manually by the building administrator to staff machines.  For student machines, email Kevin B. the group that needs to print to a certain printer and then restart the machine to see the printers in the printer and faxes section.

Applications Window (SS)

If an application in the student application's window contains (SS), aka "snapshot", after it, it must be first launched under an administrative login. Next, log in as a student and launch the program. An example of this is PhotoStory (SS).

HP Active Chat

At this link http://h50203.www5.hp.com/hpisweb/customer/HPInstantsupport.aspx?region=NA&callfrom=hp&country=US%3AUS you will choose "launch an active chat session". Once you have completed the chat, HP will ask for all of your contact information. Have this already handy in a Word document so that you can just cut and paste it at the end. The contact info should include your name, school address, and two phone numbers. Make sure to print the chat or save it as a pdf. Also, copy the tracking ticket and file a copy until all replacement parts are received.
