Tech Tidbits - Shutting Down, Restarting, & Logging Out

Shutdown, Restart, Logout, Close files ...

Hi everyone, I wanted to point out something to you that I've noticed over the past few weeks. In my opinion, it's always good practice to close out of all open files when you are not using your computer. You never know (and neither do I) when I have to restart the school network/server which could possibly damage any open file that you have on your computer. So as a general rule of thumb, save and close out of any files and applications on your computer when not in use. Here are some quick and easy additional items to think about through the course of the day:

- It's a good idea to restart your computer at least once a day

- Shutdown your computer every night when you leave the office

- Don't leave your power adapter plugged in all the time. Let the

battery run out at least once a week.
