Ms. Gardner's Technology Lab has rules for students to follow to ensure computers are treated properly, others are respected, and the Internet is used appropriately. The rules cover arrival and dismissal procedures, how to print documents, keeping work areas clean, asking the teacher for help, and lining up to leave the lab in an orderly fashion. Students are expected to keep their hands on their own computers, help others with kind words instead of actions, and only visit approved websites while keeping personal information private.
