SWE Community Room Screen Sharing
This article covers how to share your computer screen to the TV's in the SWE Community Room. The easiest way is to utilize the Apple TV. This will allow you to wirelessly share your screen. This will work with both district and non-district computers, but it has to be a Mac. Windows computers cannot share to the Apple TV. The above photo is what the touch control panels looks like. This is how you turn the TV's off and on, as well as selecting the correct source. In the above photo, you can see that 'Table Left' is selected, as it is highlighted blue. Both TV's (W. Display Power & N. Display Power) are already turned on as well (they're also highlighted blue). So to share to the Apple TV, ensure both TV's are powered on, then tap on the 'Apple TV' icon. You should now see this on both TV's: On your Mac, click on the Control Center icon. If you're on an older version of MacOS, you may have an AirPlay icon instead of the control center. AirPlay Icon in top bar (Older MacOS): Control Center > Screen Mirroring (new MacOS): Then select SWE - Community Room You may be prompted to enter a PIN code that is displayed on the TV. Instructions for hardwiring via HDMI This method can be used for both district and on-district computers. This method will also work with both Mac and Windows computers. There are three HDMI ports in the room where you can hook your computer up to. One of them is near the podium, and two of them are underneath the row of fixed tables at the far end of the room. The procedure is mostly the same when connecting to all three. There are three of these in the room. Plug an HDMI cable into the 'HDMI In' port. There is an HDMI cable + USB-C Hub in the board room for community use. The hub is labeled 'SWE Community Room'. They're together in the back right corner, right next to where the phone is located. Now, plug the HDMI cable into the hub. Plug the hub into your computer. Now, you will need to tell the panel to display what is plugged into the respective HDMI wall port. As mentioned earlier, there are three HDMI wall ports. North Wall is the wall port right near the podium. Table Right is actually on the left if you're facing the fixed table in the back. Table Left is on the right, if you're facing the fixed table. So when hardwiring, ensure the TV's are both on (Display Power should be lit up blue for both Displays on the touch-panel). Then, simply select Table Left, Table Right, or North Wall, depending on which HDMI wall port you're plugged into. Upon selecting the correct source (HDMI wall port) on the touch panel, you should see your computer's screen on both TV's. Please turn the TV's off when you're done by tapping 'N. Display Power' and 'W. Display Power' on the touch panel.

Long-Term Substitute Computer
Keywords: Long-term sub computer, sub laptop, teacher computer Aliases: teacher on leave, long term computer, substitute laptop Long-term substitute teachers are asked to use the laptop of the teacher they are substituting for, as new computers from the Tech Department are not typically assigned for temporary positions. To facilitate this, the teacher going on leave should ensure their laptop is available for the substitute's use. This procedure has been agreed upon with the teachers' union and applies to all school buildings. The administrative staff at each school will help communicate this information to the involved teachers. Once the substitute teacher receives the laptop, they should create a tech ticket to request a technician's assistance in setting up a local account on the laptop. This ensures the substitute can use the laptop independently without needing access to the original teacher's credentials or personal documents.
