Putting away: Show your computer to me each time you put your computer away. This is for your protection. That way I can tell that the computer is in good working order at the end of each class.
Computer screens are fragile and can be broken if too much pressure is applied to the screen. Always hold it by the base when moving around the room.
Flash drive—remember to eject the flash drive properly. You can do that from the bottom of the toolbar or from your file menu.
Damage—most computers stay in good working order because of the procedures that are set in place. However, if you have a missing a key or red mouse, let me know right away. If you don’t, you may be responsible for damage on “your computer.”
