Cart Maintenance 1. ASSIGN COMPUTERS: Make a list in your gradebook. You must know which student has each mac so that we can account for them. I do not need a copy of the assigned numbers. They should always use the same mac in the cart. 2. Please make sure student SHUT DOWN and not just log off or close the lid. That will keep them signed in and drains battery life. 3. Please put them back in the cart in numerical order. 4. Please plug them all back in prior to returning. 5. Please return the cart by 2:30pm.

Shutting Down Click the Apple Icon on the top menu bar. Select Shut Down
