Need to reserve a ChromeCart? The Commons? Here's how to do it!
To reserve a cart or lab
- Create an event in your TSAS.org calendar with the name of your class and the precise time you'll be using the resource
- Before saving, click "Rooms" on the right, then select the resource you wish to reserve
- If the resource is not available, it is reserved elsewhere. Check the calendar to see who is using it
- Save the event!
For those who want to be super certain
- Add the following calendars to your TSAS account by clicking the following links (ChromeCart 1, ChromeCart 2, Collegiate Commons Computer Lab), then clicking the "+ Google Calendar" button in the bottom right corner on each.
- You have reserved it successfully if you see two identical events appear in your Google calendar: one under your calendar, and one in the resource calendar you reserved
To change your reservation
The resource calendar event will "follow" the event in your calendar, so simply move/delete the event in your calendar to change your reservation. It will prompt you if you collide with another reservation.
To retrieve the ChromeCart for use
- Send a single student to the front office for a key (they are color-coded: yellow for ChromeCart 1, blue for ChromeCart 2) in the cubbies to the left of the mailboxes
- Student should unplug cart from the wall in the commons and double-check the display to make sure they are taking the correct cart
- Student should use the elevator if necessary
- Make note of the number of ChromeBooks in the cart, then have the students retrieve them
No need to plug the cart in during class; the batteries are very good!
To return the ChromeCart
- Count the number of ChromeBooks before dismissing the class (do not worry about the serial numbers on the slots; Stallings will take care of that when necessary)
- Give the key to a student and send them to the Commons with the cart and instructions to:
- Return the cart to the wall below the checkout display
- Plug in the cart
- Return the key to the front office
