Housekeeping / Rules during Computer Use (pg 1of 2)

1. Keep the noise levels down during transitions (from Lecture to LAB exercise and projects).

2. Stay on task – no wandering (don’t open other software on PC and certainly no internet surfing Demerits

3. Follow the steps in the exercise. Make notes to ask questions during the post exercise review What did you learn? Class discussion of results.

4. If you are finish with your exercise – Assist someone else. Do “ what if” to see if they really go it. Let them repeat the steps on their own as you observe what they do. Be patient. Don’t expect them to do it exactly as you did it. “ Everyone internalizes the steps to learning something new differently. Are they doing the key steps to succeed? Are they using the right terminology at the right time? Explain and then Listen carefully !! Listen and Learn -- Stay open because you can learn from them too.
