List of 8 frequently asked questions.

• Q: What does my student need to do to maintain their device?

  学生 are responsible for maintaining current hardware and software updates for their device.  This includes regularly checking that they are on the most current operating system for their device.  学生 should also restart (not shutdown or put to sleep) their devices daily. 

• Q: What happens if the device breaks? 你能修好它吗??

  No.  While we may be able to troubleshoot a simple malfunction, the device is the student's responsibility.  If the device breaks, you will have to coordinate repairing.  We highly recommend purchasing extended warranties, 病毒防护, and installing anti-theft software if available.

• Q: What are the requirements for the device?

  请参阅 技术使用政策 & BYOD程序 文档.

• Q: Which device should I buy?

  Please see our 自带设备购买指南.

• Q: What devices should I avoid?

  Devices like iPads and other tablets will not be able to fully function in our environment.  Student devices should only be a recently purchased PC, Macbook, or Chromebook. 

• Q: Will students be able to charge their devices?

  学生 must come to school with their device fully charged. Battery life depends on many factors, particularly how much the device is being used and for what purpose. While allowing students to charge their devices is ultimately up to the teacher, we encourage students to use their devices judiciously. 玩游戏, 看电影, and unnecessary multi-tasking will run down the battery life signifcantly.

• Q: Will there be loaner devices provided?

  In case of a hardware/device failure, or if a student forgets their device, loaner Chromebooks will be available for rental from the LMC for a fee of $10/day. The Chromebooks must be returned to the LMC at the end of each day in order to avoid disciplinary action, 巨额罚款, and loss of future rental privileges.

• Q: Does my child have to bring a device or is this optional?

  Yes, every student must have their own device that they bring to school.
