Usage Policy Presentation

Topics Discussed:
  • Proper use of school and network resources
  • Software Copying
  • Copyright
  • Software Privacy and Vandalism
  • Care of Equipment
  • Food and Drink Policy
  • Internet Usage Guidelines
  • Consequences of Policy Violation

Assignment:

  1. Today we’re going to take a quiz that will check to see if you were paying attention to the Usage Policy Presentation we reviewed yesterday.
  2. The good news: If you pass the quiz, I’ll give you access to your Computer Studies student account. This student account only works in the Center for Computer Studies labs, and you’re going to need it to proceed any further in this class.
  3. The bad news: If you don’t pass the quiz, you have to retake it until you do. Don’t worry, it’s not rocket science – I’m sure you’ll get it right on the first try. Don’t forget, you can always review the Usage Policy Presentation if you’re stuck.
  4. As soon as you pass the quiz, I’ll walk you through the process of logging in to the computer for the first time, and I’ll walk you through changing your password so your account is secure.
  5. Don’t forget your Plans for Success are due today! Make sure you get those turned in to me before you leave class.
  6. On Monday, we’ll begin our introduction to the Macintosh operating system, so make sure you finish the quiz and get logged in today so you’re ready for next week’s lessons.

Assignment:

  1. 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.
  2. Watch the Usage Policy Presentation along with me, and feel free to ask any questions you may have on the policy.
  3. This policy is also outlined on the Plan for Success that you received earlier this week. The signed Plan for Success is due tomorrow! When you sign it, you’re agreeing to follow this policy.
  4. 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.
