Meet the Technology Specialist

Good day,

My name is Samuel Stewart, the Instructional Technology Specialist at Killough Middle School.

I am happy to be your Technology Specialist at KMS. I have had the pleasure of working as a long term sub, tech aide, and a teacher in both math and CTE For the past 13 years here at Killough.  My goal is to establish relationships and see when I can offer support. I may not know all the answers to your questions, but if I cannot we do have an AMAZING tech support department in Alief. The easiest way to reach them 281-498-8110 x 22530.

This website is intended to serve as a guide to help you troubleshoot your problems. I may not always be readily available and this resource is here to help you get answers in a timely manner.

I look forward to helping you level up your Schoology usage and technology integration this year, as well as creating a Technology Action Team to keep me in the know of technology needs. I am excited to share my new journey with you!

In partnership,

Samuel L. Stewart III

Technology Housekeeping

  • Computers and laptops should be turned on daily and left on when you leave for the day- it will install important updates automatically before shutting down.

  • If you are using a personal device, be sure to connect to the AISDBYOD network and log in using your network username and password (do not use 'sponsored'). This will NOT work for paras.

  • If an Alief laptop will not connect to WiFi, plug it in to an ethernet cable and RESTART it. Unplug it, it should connect. If not, call #22530.

  • If a desktop tells you there are "no log on servers", call #22530 to put in a work order.

  • For connectivity or other issues, please call #22530 and put in a work order.


Tech Support

Asking a neighbor for help with your issue will often get you a quicker solution than Tech Services- they have been overwhelmed with calls and requests. Some problems, however, will require a call to them.

Our tech, Charles Reed, is usually on campus on Thursdays and Fridays, so plan accordingly. His workday at Killough is built around the work order tickets that have been submitted, so get them in!

Connectivity

Ethernet cords are often blue, but can also be found in a variety of other colors. When having a connection problem, make sure both ends are plugged in securely. If the light is flashing in the back of the computer, the internet is connected.

Phone & PC Connections

When setting up your computer and phone, consider configuring your teaching area to include a webcam attached to the computer as well as how the camera will be set up for virtual students to participate.

Also, please be careful when connecting your internet through the phone, if done incorrectly the whole campus will lose internet access. 

Plugging in Computers

We have several different desktop models in Alief, but all connect the same way.

Still stuck? Ask a neighbor!

Use a power strip for all computer components- do not plug them directly in to the wall.


Multiple Monitors

Multiple monitors will allow you to check attendance, email, or grades on your monitor while showing a video, webpage, or another image on your projector. A projector can also be considered a second monitor. Hit the Windows key + P to change the set up of your monitor and projector.

Some presentation computers in classrooms, computer labs, or conference rooms have this option; however, the district is not required to provide you with one.
