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 will receive soon. More details to follow.
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.
