Stevenson Hall Classroom Computer Updates
A message from Rick Lindquist about equipment updates in Stevenson Hall:
Each room will have a wireless keyboard and mouse so there is no need to be tied to the AV cabinets any longer. Feel free to operate the teacher’s station from anywhere in the room!
There are two concerns related to the switch to Mac that I’d like to briefly address.




CLA Classroom Computer Updates
A message from Rick Lindquist about equipment updates in CLA:
We’ve been working over the summer to improve the AV experience in all of our campus classrooms. One of my goals is to improve consistency from room to room across campus. To that end, I’ve been replacing aging computers with new models identical to the ones in State Farm Hall.
That means that CLA 105, 200, 205, 305 now have Mac Mini teacher’s stations with the same login and software as SFH rooms. I’ve also installed a Mac Mini in CLA 300, where there was previously only a VCR/DVD.
I’ve cleaned the cabinets and equipment and relabeled all of the switch boxes so I hope the audio selector box will be less confusing. I’ve added wireless keyboards and mice so there is no need to be tied to the AV cabinets any longer. Feel free to operate the teacher’s station from anywhere in the room!
There are two concerns related to the switch to Mac that I’d like to briefly address.
First, I would like the Mac Minis to stay powered on all day. They are programmed to turn off and on automatically at night to save power. I find it to be disruptive if the Mac is unexpectedly powered off between classes, but it can happen. There is a power indicator light on the front of the Mac (in the photo below the Mac is turned off, so the indicator is just a small black dot):
