Account Management Best Practices for Student Devices

With the addition of technology devices in the district this year, teachers and students have had a number of new things to learn. In our district devices are not issued to one single student. Almost all of our devices are shared among a number of different users. This can cause problems when students fail to logout of the different accounts they use daily.  Another problem happens when web browsers ask students to save or remember passwords.  Students who are not logging out or are clicking yes when asked to save or remember passwords are vulnerable to having other students log in as them, modify their work, and send emails as them. Please take some time to advise your students to always logout of all of their accounts and the computer when they are finished. This will help reduce the chances of students deleting the work of others.
