  • 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. 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.

None.

Topics Discussed:
  • Classroom policies and procedures

Assignment:

  1. Welcome back! Today we’re going to go over the class rules, or as I like to call them, the policies and procedures.
  2. Society’s based on rules. Without ’em, we’re no better than poo-flinging monkeys in the jungle. Humans agree to abide by rules so we can all get along and get things accomplished with a minimum of screaming, head-bashing and poo-flinging.
  3. The rules are pretty straightforward, and they’re all posted in the front of the room where you can see them at all times. They’re all really based on one simple thing: respect.
  4. I’m going to show you respect at all times in the classroom, and all I ask is that you return the favor.
  5. I also ask that you treat everyone else with respect, so that they can do the same for you.
  6. Treat my stuff and the school’s stuff with respect, so that it can stay in good shape for you and for everyone else.
  7. I’ve got a lot of cool stuff to teach you in this class. Please don’t make it any harder for me than it already is by disrupting my class, or making it harder for the people around you to pay attention.
  8. I promise not to come to your room and mess it up; can you do me the same courtesy? I’d appreciate it.
  9. Do any of the class rules seem strange? Like something you shouldn’t have to be asked not to do? Guess what: the reason that rule’s in place is because some knucklehead decided to be a creep and had to be asked to stop. Please: Don’t be that guy.
  10. If you can agree to abide by these policies and procedures, then we can all get along. If there’s anything you feel like you can’t agree to here, let me know and we can talk it over.
