In addition, students will have engaged in key critical thinking skills and will have practiced ethical and appropriate behavior required for the responsible use of technology.

Class procedures and policies
1.Work on your assignments at the beginning of class
2. I usually check your work during the last 30 minutes of class
3. Computers are here for classwork, not games, videos, etc. If your computer use is preventing you from completing your classwork, I will turn your computer off.

Expectations

1. Be considerate. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

2. Start assigned work when the bell rings. There may be a 10 minute warmup, then a daily assignment. I will grade your work throughout class.

3. Be seated and listen when I am giving instructions. If you need to ask questions, raise your hand.

4. Work on your assignment the entire period.

5. Follow all school rules and safety rules.

6. There are district and school rules related to cell phones and electronic devices. If you violate those rules, I have the right to collect, hold, and turn the phones and devices in to an administrator. If you refuse, I will follow school and MNPS procedures and policies. Cell phones and electronic devices are easily stolen. Protecting your cell phones and electronic devices and preventing their loss or destruction is totally your responsibility. Cell phones and electronic devices may not be used when I am giving you instructions. If I see them during this time, I will ask you to give them to me.  I will usually return them to you at the end of class. Never use phones, cameras, or any digital device to create images that might make a classmate or adult uncomfortable or be considered bullying or harassment.

7. If you have been absent, it is your responsibility to find out about missed work and make it up.

8. During this class, if you need to go to another teacher, to guidance, or any other location for school work, you need to bring a note from the person who will be supervising you requesting permission for you to leave class. You may also need to get permission from you academy principal.
