Helpful Hints

Following these hints and guidelines can greatly reduce technical problems and reduce security vulnerabilities, please follow them.


Security
  • When you are finished working at the workstation you are working at, LOG OUT!
  • Do not share your login information, there should never be a need to do this. If you need rights and access to something on the network which you currently don't have, request it from Technology.
  • Keep in mind when you give out your email address to websites on the internet, you are opening yourself up for a lot of junk mail, please read privacy policies before submitting your email and make sure it is a website you trust.
  • All user folders are scanned periodically and any inappropriate content will be deleted usually without warning, be sure to always comply with the VVISD Technolgoy Acceptable Use Policy, student folders containing inappropriate content will be locked and reported to their computer teacher.

Reducing Potential Technical Problems

  • At the end of they day, shut your computer down. Monitors and printers will go on standby so it is not necessary to shut them down also.
  • Keep your computer and equipment off of the ground. Dirt and dust is worst at the ground and this will greatly reduce the longevity of your equipment. If you have no other place to put your equipment but on the ground, try to put it on something that will elevate it at least four or more inches off the ground.
