  9. The Rules of The Tech Lab

  10. Food and Drink • No pop, gum, candy or any other sticky type food is allowed in The Tech Lab at any time. • Students can have water, but only from enclosed containers. • No Pop, Juice, etc.

  11. Music • Machines that create music are allowed in the Tech Lab, but only when WORKING on a project. • RAT on Mr. B. and Music goes away. • No playing streaming music from your computer!

  12. Funny Movies! • Nope, sorry! • Hogs bandwidth. • Wastes time. • See: Discipline.

  13. Hats and other headcoverings. • School policy forbids the wearing of a hat on campus this year. • If a student has a hat on in the classroom, it will be confiscated. • Do it twice and the world may end.

  14. Cell Phones • No Cell Phones allowed in The Tech Lab. (Especially Camera Phones.) • If I ask for your phone, give it to me or face possible suspension. • If found, Cell Phones will be taken and given to Mr. Ward.

  15. Games and Email • Access to online games or email in The Tech Lab is strictly prohibited. • Offenses will likely result in loss of computer privileges and all that other stuff.

  16. My Computer • DO NOT touch my teacher’s computer without permission! • This is a violation of the code of conduct and you can be expelled!

  17. Respecting The Tech Lab • Keep your feet off the desks and chairs. • Please don’t mess with my windchimes, my snake, my spider or other stuff without permission.

  18. IT’S FREEZING IN HERE! • Yeah, I know, get used to it. • Try wearing a sweater…

  19. Starting the Class • At the start of most class periods, I will have a slide up with my instructions for getting started for the day. This will have a time limit! • If the class takes longer to get prepared than the time limit, I will keep everyone after class to compensate.

  20. Work Ethic • Up to 50 percent of the grading for any of our projects will be based upon Work Ethic. • Hard work will be rewarded in this class. • “Skating by” will result in grades of “C” or lower.

  21. Late Work • Work turned in late or missed because of an unexcused absence will receive a score of 0. • If you need help or more time on an assignment, SEE ME before it is due!

  22. Turning in Assignments • All Work will be submitted via the Network Dropbox Folder • Improperly copied or misnamed files will not receive any credit.

  23. Grading in the Tech Lab

  24. Escaping the Tech Lab • Sounds awful? You can transfer out of the class… • But you probably need this class to graduate… • However, you can get out once in awhile…

  25. Passes • There will be no Passes given to any students during the first 60 minutes of the class. • After the first 60 minutes of class, students may use one of their 5 semester Hall Passes. You have to sign for it. • Used all your 5 passes, don’t ask again!

  26. Passes- continued • Students who refrain from using their Hall Passes for an entire semester will receive consideration at the end of the semester when considering borderline grades. • Students leaving the class on a pass for more than 5 minutes will lose all passes for the rest of the semester.

  27. Discipline in the Tech Lab consists of FIVE Steps:

  28. Step ONE (New this year) • The Corner Computer.

  29. Step TWO • No Computers!

  30. Step THREE • Long, boring writing assignments that must be completed to pass.

  31. Step FOUR • Letter home to your parent or guardian.

  32. Step FIVE • The Discipline Form

  33. REALLY BAD THING #1 • Accessing inappropriate material on the Internet is forbidden. This includes: • Any images of clothing (or lack thereof) that violate the school dress code. • Any sites related to violence, guns, alcohol or drugs, unless specifically connected to a school assignment.

  34. A Quick Test: Which is school appropriate?
