Guidelines for
Classroom use of Laptops and Technology in the Classroom
With new technology and a new way of learning in a mobile atmosphere
come special considerations. Below you will see the behavior that is
acceptable and unacceptable within the classroom and throughout the
College.
The classroom environment must be conducive to learning for all
students. Distractions made possible by advances in technology
undermine that goal. Accordingly, during class, in addition to usual
courtesies, kindly
1. Refrain from using cell phones, pagers, and any other communication
device except for your laptop computer.
2.
Refrain from connecting to the
internet.
3.
Refrain from displaying wallpaper, screen savers, or other material on
your laptop computer that you can reasonably expect to be offensive to
other.
In Class
1.
When a teacher has requested that your laptops be closed, please close
your laptops.
2. Please don't use ICQ, MSN or other chat programs during class.
3. If a guest speaker comes into the class, please give the person your
full attention and close your laptops.
4. Refrain from sending documents to the printer during a lecture
presentation.
5.
After completing a test quietly close your laptop and do not put it away
in the carrying case as the noise is distracting to other students.
Return after the test is completed to put away your laptop.
General
Do
not say anything in e-mail that you would not want to be overheard at
the water fountain.
Please be polite, use correct grammar and spelling in your e-mail. Learn
how to use your e-mail spell checker if spelling is not your strong
point |
