  1. The Rules of The Tech Lab

  2. Food and Drink • School Policy this year: Students can have water, but only from enclosed containers. • Don’t like it? Talk to the boss, I am just following rules.

  3. Something that really irritates me… • If someone eats in the room and then throws the wrappers on the floor, behind their computer, under their chair. • See: Random explosions.

  4. Music • Machines that create music are allowed in the Tech Lab, but only when WORKING on a project. • DO NOT listen to music while Mr. B. is lecturing. • Special words about Music in the Tech Lab. • PLEASE DO NOT play streaming music from your computer!

  5. Texting • Please don’t in class. • If I catch you, I will take your phone and give it to Mr. Burmeister. • In addition, I may take away your music privileges. • See: Random Explosions.

  6. Hats and other headcoverings. • School policy forbids the wearing of a hat on campus this year. • If a student has a hat on in the classroom, it will be confiscated. • Do it twice and the world may end.

  7. What About Day Planners? • Day Planners are again a BIG THING this year. Teachers are expected to use them in EVERY class. • I will be checking for them on a random basis and giving you points if you have it. • Don’t like it, talk to the boss!

  8. IT’S FREEZING IN HERE! • Yeah, I know, get used to it. • Try wearing a sweater…

  9. Starting the Class • At the start of most class periods, I will have a slide up with my instructions for getting started for the day. This will usually have a time limit and will likely involve your Day Planner. • If the class takes longer to get prepared than the time limit, I may keep everyone after class to compensate.

  10. Late Work • Work turned in late or missed because of an unexcused absence will receive a score of 0. • If you need help or more time on an assignment, SEE ME before it is due!

  11. Turning in Assignments • All Work will be submitted via the Network DROPBOX Folder • Improperly copied or misnamed files will not receive any credit.

  12. What should I call my files? • Files are always called the same thing: lastname_assignmentname.doc

  13. Do I going to grade everything? • No! Not necessarily. • On writing assignments and other small projects, I will select random assignments to grade once in a while.

  14. Grading in the Tech Lab

  15. Are there tests? • There are comprehensive finals in all classes at the end of at the end of each semester. • Other than that, I tend to require more projects than tests.

  16. How does Mr. B. teach? • I don’t. I do not lecture AT ALL in the Technology Lab (except in Government!) • Years of experience has taught me that this is the right thing to do.

  17. So how are we gonna learn?

  18. Escaping the Tech Lab • There will be no Passes given to any students during the first 60 minutes of the class. • After the first 60 minutes of class, students can ask to use a hall pass. IF THEY HAVE THEIR PLANNER! • If you haven’t asked before, I will probably let you go. • If you have, I probably won’t.

  19. Please tell me how to get in trouble in the Tech Lab!

  20. Annoying thing number one • Talk when Mr. B. is talking, especially if he is giving a lecture. • This will quickly lead to Random Explosions.

  21. Annoying Thing Number Two • Throwing out some lousy work in 3 minutes then saying…. • “I’m done! I’m done! I’m done!” and thinking you can goof off the rest of the week.

  22. REALLY BAD THING #1 • Accessing inappropriate material on the Internet is forbidden. This includes: • Any images of clothing (or lack thereof) that violate the school dress code. • Any sites related to violence, guns, alcohol or drugs, unless specifically connected to a school assignment.

  23. REALLY BAD THING #2 • Using the computer to intimidate or harass others. • This can include use of your personal computer at home.

  24. REALLY BAD THING #3 • Damaging or vandalizing any of the school’s computers or technological equipment.

  25. DOING A REALLY BAD THING? Expect some discipline…

  26. Discipline in the Tech Lab consists of FIVE Steps:

  27. Step ONE • The Corner Computer.

  28. Step TWO • You get to go sit in the hallway

  29. Step THREE • Long, boring writing assignments that must be completed instead of the regular class assignments.

  30. Step FOUR • Meeting with your parents, Mr. Yaussi, etc…

  31. All Along the Way… • Infinite Campus now has a Discipline Tab, that your parents can see…

  32. The “G” Word and its friends and relatives

  33. Using The Tech Lab • No students will be allowed to access The Tech Lab before school, I am not a morning person. • Tech Lab can be accessed during Mr. B’s planning periods with permission. • The Tech Lab will be available after school for Open Computer Use.

  34. Logging onto the School’s Network • Username= Firstname.Lastname • Password= M/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY (date must be two numbers) • Temporary login for new students= User= techlab, Pwd= huskies
