Buying Music & Movies on Your Laptops

As per the CCSD21 Staff Laptop Policy, you can house Movies, Music, and Pictures on your laptop, and this does include Movies, Music, and Pictures that have been purchased. Remember, that due to bandwidth and server space limitations, these items do not sync to the server, so they should be backed up separately, using DVDs or CDs or an external hard drive. It is important that Movie files are kept in the home directory’s Movies folder, and the same is true for Music and Photos respectively. These items should never be stored in the Documents or Desktop folders. If these items are purchased for school use, and the staff member is reimbursed by the District, these are property of the School District, and a copy should be made to left with the appropriate individuals--i.e., the LMC Specialist, the iTech teacher, etc.

Purchases can be made through Amazon and through iTunes. Purchases may also be made through other online or brick-mortar-retailers as long as no software needs to be installed to import the purchase. (For example, no software is needed to import the contents of a physical audio CD that has been purchased as this feature is built-in to iTunes. Accounts are needed for each of these vendors.
