‪Computer Etiquette

‪Having the Internet at your fingertips has tremendous benefits to you as a student, both for the opportunities it provides for independent exploration and the clarification of ideas discussed in the classroom. Please understand that a computing device can also be a significant distraction to your learning. Consider these tips as a guide:

 

•   ‪Whenever the instructor speaks to the class, please disengage from your work on the computer and remove headphones.

•   ‪The most common distractions are checking email, instant messaging, youtube, social networking sites, games, etc. Feel free to use these sites if you have time before the class begins, but not during class.

•   ‪If you are working in a computer lab, do not disconnect any device, add additional software, or manipulate any system setting without first speaking with your instructor.

•   ‪Use hand sanitizer & disinfecting wipes often.

•   ‪Be sure to sign out of programs before you leave class.

•   ‪Hang up head phones, tuck in keyboard, push in chair and clean up your work area.

• Don't touch or lick the screens.
