Welcome Back … to the LAB!

Traffic Flow

For safety reasons, there is an entrance and exit pattern that all classes should follow.

Please do not block the doorway.

When you come into the lab…

Be sure to follow the

traffic pattern, and

please WALK to your

computer.

Huh?

If your computer is unavailable for the day, please wait for everyone to be seated, and then find another computer.

Signal SystemPlace a cup on the

monitor or lift the flag to let your teacher know that you have a question, or your computer needs attention.

Don’t call out or get out of your chair.

Remember, there are more students than teachers, you might have to wait your turn.

Comfort

Place your knees under the table with your feet towards the floor.

Adjust your body so the monitor is straight in front of you.

Place the mouse on its pad in a comfortable position on the correct side of your computer for you to use.

Lefties...

If you have to move the mouse to the left side of the computer, please remember to put it back on the right side when you leave.

Never!

No student should ever alter the school computers or change their settings in any way.

Teamwork

Please do not touch your

neighbor’s computer.

If you are trying to help

your neighbor, you

can talk them through

the directions, but do

not touch their

computer.

Use words, not hands.

Finishing Up

When it gets close to the end of your lab time, remember to save or print your work, and restore your work area for the next student.

Don’t wait until the last minute or the third time your teacher calls.
