The following recommendations and procedures are provided to guide you through the process of preparing the technology demonstration equipment in **your** classroom for the summer months and to ensure a smooth opening of 2011-2012 school year. **ePad Tips ** http://techmodelclassrooms.wikispaces.com/Home
 * Equipment Inventory/Preparing Technology Equipment for summer. **
 * Teachers should inventory the equipment documenting that is in working order including the document camera, projector, ePad, Bluetooth Dongles (interactive whiteboard and ePad/penpad), interactive whiteboard power supply and Bluetooth, and all cables and remotes for the DVD-VCR, projector, and doc camera.
 * Label the cords that are plugged into the equipment in the cart, such as doc camera and projector cords.
 * Make sure all carts/projectors are shut down and unplugged in case of any power surges over the summer.
 * Check all batteries in the Projector, DVD, and doc camera remotes.
 * You might want to cover the Interactive White Board and the Bluetooth attached to the board during the summer.
 * Cart Tips **
 * Store all equipment, cables, and cords in the cart.
 * Label your cart with the room number and teacher’s name
 * Lock your cart
 * Keep the electronic lock codes in a safe place to be used next year. If your school has many carts you might want to create a spreadsheet with a list of cart codes, room numbers, and teacher names. This list can be kept in the front office.
 * (Note: If the batteries are bad at the start of next year, you can use a 9v (square battery) to override the bad batteries by touching the positive and negative to the terminals on the lock).
