Cobb provides each student with a laptop to support academic success. To be ready to participate in classes, students need to be responsible about keeping their laptop charged and updated. If you do not run an update when your laptop first notifies you that it is time, follow the procedures below.
Leave your computer connected to power overnight for a full charge, and keep it powered on while updates are downloading and being installed. To begin updates, login and type "update" in the Windows search box on the lower left of the screen (see image below). Software updates will download and install automatically, but will be halted if your computer is turned off or goes to sleep. Keep checking on the progress until all updates are complete. You may need to restart your computer a couple of times to complete all updates if you have not used it for a couple of months.

Students who bring a personal laptop to use on campus will need to install the CCSD security certificate to use school Wi-Fi. Additional support for CCSD's student laptop program and Microsoft Office 365 is linked from ManeMedia.info/Technology.
