Hi! My name is Becky Knips and I am our Educational Technology Coordinator at Lesher. I was our computer science teacher for 14 years and am excited to help integrate technology throughout our classrooms this year! All students attended a laptop expectations session at the beginning of the school year, however students may need a few reminders mid-year of what they can and can’t do on their school-issued laptop while they are at home. Here are a few things you can look for at home on their laptop:

Yes - you can...

• Check your grades, PSD email, or work on homework
• Use Microsoft Teams to chat with a classmate about an assignment
• Play an educational game that a teacher has specifically assigned

No - you can’t...

• Use Microsoft Teams/Google Hangouts/email to have personal conversations or chats with friends
• Play games (Roblox, Minecraft, or other online games - unless specifically assigned by a teacher)
• Watch videos on YouTube or listen to music

We emphasize that school-issued laptops are to be used as a tool to learn. If you are wondering if what your child is doing is school-related, ask them to show you where it’s assigned or follow up with an email or phone call to that teacher. Google Classroom and StudentVUE/ParentVUE are great places to check what is assigned. Having your child use the laptop in a visible location can help minimize distractions and get work done.

Lastly, we have noticed many students coming in without charging their laptops. Laptops should be fully charged every morning. Having a nightly routine of plugging the laptop into the charger is helpful. We don’t have enough outlets in the classroom to support students charging their laptops at school.

If you have any questions about your child’s laptop usage, please reach out to me at 970-472-3840 or rknips@psdschools.org.
