Laptops

GSMST is a 1:1 Windows computing environment - all students get a GCPS laptop  with software to support the curriculum. Because you have a Windows PC laptop instead of a Chromebook, you have access to a range of software to support your curriculum, including:

• Microsoft Office Apps (Sign-in required)

  • Word

  • PowerPoint

  • Excel

• Adobe Creative Cloud (Sign-in required)

  • Adobe Acrobat (PDF)

  • Photoshop

  • Premiere Pro

  • Other apps as needed for your classes - we can install remotely

There will be other specialized software for your engineering and computer science classes. Note: you cannot install software yourself. You do not have administrative rights on your laptop.

Tech Triage is where we help you with technology problems:

• Hardware repairs

• Charger replacement (due to loss or malfunction)

  • Lost chargers will incur a $30.00 fee

• Software issues

• Special software installation (per your teacher)

If you damage your laptop, or if a key pops off, or if something seems like it's not working properly, please come to Tech Triage during regular morning or afternoon hours as soon as you can.
