What should we do if the school computer doesn't pass the compatibility test?
Elementary students will return the school device to the LLC and receive another device.
Middle School students can visit IT during chromebook hour, 8-9AM to swap out the device.
How will the students be in communication with the teacher proctoring the test?
Each student will need to open up their classroom Google Meet link first and then launch the testing URL when instructed. Both tabs will be open during testing.
What if the Google Meet connection freezes or drops?
Close the Meet tab at the top and try to reconnect.
Use a seperate device for connecting to the Meet, maybe a phone or second computer.
If there are still issues, continue the test taking and email the teacher regarding the lost Meet connection when testing is completed.
What if the device completely freezes and nothing is accessible?
Restart the device and try to connect back to the Meet and URL testing website. No test data will be lost.
