Samsung Thin Client
Using a virtual thin client computer is basically the same as using a desktop or laptop computer, but, there are a few differences.
Some things to know:
- A Samsung thin client monitor (terminal) is used to access the virtual computer, but, the computer is not physically located in your room.
- Any terminal can be used to access a virtual computer.
- The virtual computers are divided into 3 basic pools of computers:
- Classworks
- Staff
- Students
STAFF COMPUTERS:
Staff members “grab” the same virtual computer each time they log off and back on. If something goes wrong with a staff VM computer the technology department can simply assign a new one and detach the faulty virtual computer.
Therefore, staff members can:
- Set up the Internet Explorer home page.
- Set their start menu to look a specific way and can add programs to it.
- Be assigned to specific campus printers.
- Staff members have two computer group choices: Classworks or Staff
