Classroom+Procedures


 * Very Very Important**

1. Do not talk when Mr. Wage is talking. You might miss something, and you could keep people around you from hearing something important. 2. Stay in your assigned seat unless Mr. Wage lets you change seats. Ask first for permission. 3. Use a hall pass when leaving the room. Ask first for permission. 4. Don't change your computer's desktop pattern, screen saver, pointer, or theme. Mr. Wage knows this is fun, but sometimes students spend too much time with this and not enough time on their work. 5. Internet chatting, emailing, and "blogging" are not allowed unless related to school and set up by Mr. Wage. Again, he knows this is fun, but these are things to do at home. 6. Do not fill out and send Internet forms that ask for your name, home address, or email address. This is against school policy. 7. Do not download Internet files and programs unless approved by Mr. Wage. Downloading can bring viruses and other problems into your computer. 8. Ask for permission before printing. Only printing that is for a school class is allowed. 9. Do not print entire web pages unless approved. Instead, copy the text you want and paste it into Microsoft Word. We need to conserve printer toner (ink.) Ask Mr. Wage for help. 10. If you want to do keyboarding at home and bring it to school on a floppy disk, save your homework in ".rtf" format. Ask Mr. Wage for help. 11. Don't bother other students when they are working. 12. Sometimes we will have reward time for computer and Internet fun, but only when ALL ASSIGNMENTS ARE DONE.
