The Computer Resource and Maintenance or CRAM room, A235, is open for students with device issues. Students can bring in malfunctioning devices any time during the school day to receive assistance from trained CRAM students.
Seniors Ryan Fitzgibbons and Livvy Reece took the summer course to learn how to properly take apart and fix devices, as well as explore unique aspects of the computers.
“My favorite feature is the split screen,” Reece said, explaining that the feature allows you to look at two different pages on one screen. “You can multitask and be looking the Canvas thing for the assignment while you’re writing down things for the assignment.”
The device’s stylus also has special features.
“With the stylus there’s a button on it that allows you to right click on certain things. You can also double tap just like you would with a mouse,” Fitzgibbons said.
Although the CRAM room is always open, Reece suggested turning the device all the way off and back on again before bringing it to the tech team. “80 – 90 percent of the issues can be solved by shutting the computer all the way down,” she said.
According to Digital Learning Nick Hargett, student devices won’t be set up to print on school computers due to issues with configuring the 64 gigabyte devices with the 32 gigabyte printers. If students need to print they can do so from a regular computer labs.
