Mr. Gregory’s Computer Lab Checklist for Students

These rules apply to students using computers in the science labs as well as in the classrooms. Please read the computer lab rules and complete the computer checklist at the end.

 

  1. A student must have permission before using any computer and before accessing the Internet. The teacher should assign each student to one computer station and keep a record of that information. Students should only use that station during that lab visit. The room will have a clipboard with forms attached for this purpose.

 

  1. Students must follow teacher directions for logging-on to a computer.

In the science lab the username is: science; there is no password (click OK)

 

  1. At no time should students identify themselves by giving out personal information, which includes: Name, phone number, sex, age, or address. There is no internet site that my students visit that would require any additional information. If students receive a prompt which asks for this sort of information it is their responsibility to report it to me immediately so that it can be dealt with accordingly.

 

  1. Students should use the computer as a tool to complete the assignment without changing any computer settings, screen backgrounds, screen savers, etc. Students must not explore or browse the hard drive or system folders of the computer or network.

 

  1. Have students report problems at their computer station immediately. Look for missing mouse balls, keyboard damage, graffiti on tables or mouse pads, broken chairs, improper screen settings, speakers should be off with volume down, and any other problems.

 

  1. While on the Internet:            NO Instant messages, bulletin boards, chat rooms, e-mail, radio, downloading software, games, music, etc.

 

  1. Students should have a clear understanding of what they are to accomplish in the lab.

 

  1. Keep room lights on unless the room must be darkened for an audiovisual presentation. 

 

  1. Speakers should be turned on only at the direction of the teacher.

 

  1. No food or drinks.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Before leaving the lab: Students must close all programs, be sure Novell Applications window is visible, turn down volume and turn off speakers, place computer mice upside down on table so missing balls can be easily spotted, dispose of trash, and push in chairs when dismissed by teacher.

 

  1. Teachers will check each station for the above. Please complete the lab form, note any problems, return the clipboard to its proper place, and return earphones (if they were used).

 

  1. Report all computer problems to the teacher right away.
