2.  Do not surf the Internet, read e-mail, chat or instant message when you're supposed to be listening to the teacher or working on an assignment.

3.  Store documents on your USB drive, not on the hard drive.

4.  Log on using your own name.

5.  Respect yourself. Do not give anyone your user name and password for any reason. Never post comments, emails or chats under someone else’s name.

6.  All computer use must have an educational basis. No game playing without the teacher’s permission.

7.  Read the instructions on the computer screen before asking for help.

8.  Do not go around or use a “back door” proxy or server to do illegal searches.

9.  Report malfunctions and glitches -- it saves time and energy.
