Assignment:
- By now, you’ve been using computers in school long enough that you should have a pretty good handle on what is an acceptable use of computer equipment and the Internet, and what isn’t acceptable. Today’s presentation will eliminate any doubt or confusion as to what is and isn’t acceptable here in the lab.
- Watch the Usage Policy Presentation along with me, and feel free to ask any questions you may have on the policy.
- This policy is also outlined on the Plan for Success that you will receive today. Please read the Plan for Success, and sign on the last two pages to confirm that you agree to abide by the policies, then take it home and show it to your parents/guardians, and have them sign to confirm that they understand and agree to the policy. Please return the document with all required signatures to me by Monday, August 11th.
- The policies make sure that this room remains a clean and functional place for everyone to live and learn in. We can’t get much accomplished in here unless everyone can agree to abide by them. If you can live with that, then we can move on to learning the good stuff.
