Be Respectful

Be Responsible

Be Safe

Follow these simple rules, and our computer education class will be fun and exciting.

It is very important that we use our computer class effectively.  As Students and teachers, we must maximize our teaching and learning time because we only have a short amount of time.

Any disruptions will hurt the whole class, so non-constructive disruptions will not be tolerated

Students who cannot follow the classroom expectations

 

When students enter class, there will be a few minutes before class begins to find seats, log in, and get ready for classroom instruction. 

          Students must first log in as themselves, then they can begin Type to Learn right away or check the blog  for recent posts.  Student conversations must be about technology, and not be disruptive to other students working

Each student is expected to be listening to instruction, or working on the daily classwork.  Students may ask two neighbors for help, or chat about their questions, but must always be ready for further instruction by the teacher.

Once a transition sound is started by the teacher, students are expected to follow the directions given by the sound.

        Rain Stick Shake- Freeze and listen to teacher instructions

        Rain Stick Rain- Stop and pause any activities, and turn eyes to the front for further directions

        Music- Save and close any working projects or activities. Wait for the teacher to give the "log off" instruction.

At the end of class each day, the "log off" instruction will be given.  Students must log off at the end of class so that the computer is ready for the next student to log in.  This will also help to ensure that each student is working in their own folder to reduce lost work.

Students will first be given a warning and prompted about their behavior, and then consequences will be given as follows:

          1. First offense- loss of privilege (associated with the offense)

          2. Second offense (may be related to first offense)- Loss of privilege, and/or time out (period of time to be determined by the teacher).

          3.Third offense (may be related to first or second offense) - extended time out and/or referral to the principal (or building equivalent)
