  21. Where you may and may not walk

  22. Computer Use Policies Always bring your laptop and charger. You may NOT borrow someone else’s charger. Laptop is always closed at the tardy bell. Place name on laptop and charger. (Mr. Schram will provide printed labels for both laptop and charger) Desktop taskbar may never be hidden. Do not alter computer settings, which are required for computer science instructions. Laptops must display appropriate instruction display at all times. (explained next slide)

  23. Appropriate Laptop Display Laptops are used in the classroom for specific instruction. There are only two types of displays permitted. First, the display on the laptop is precisely as your teacher directs with a projector demonstration, assignment sheet or verbal instruction. Second, you are working of a lab assignment and your laptop's display is directly related to the completion of the assignment.

  24. Email Student should check their Email every evening! Mr. Schram frequently send updates and information to students and their parents. This may include review information for a test, corrections to a homework, or a link to updated curriculum files. Student should NOT check their Email during a lecture or lab session. If you are emailing a teacher, you must use your JPIIHS email account (@jpiicardinals.org).

  25. Grading

  26. Class Evaluations • Minor Lab Assignments 20% • Major Lab Assignments 80% • Individual Lab Assignments will be assigned a weight factor based on • the difficulty of the lab and the time needed for completion.

  27. Minor Labs These are short labs that are finished in s single class period. In some cases, a small Minor Lab is one part of a much larger Major Lab being done in stages.

  28. Major Labs These are big, complex, multi-day lab assignments.

  29. Semester Exams This class does not have multiple choice tests, but you will be assigned a lab to do for your semester exams. Exams are done in total silence.

  30. Laptop Modes

  31. “OPEN” Your laptop is open. You can type on the keyboard.

  32. “CLOSED” Your laptop is COMPLETELY closed. No work is done on the laptop at all.

  33. “Half-Mast” Your laptop is half-way closed. This allows your teacher to give you some quick instructions, and then you can get back to work.

  34. “TABLET” For students with a tablet PC, this means your screen is turned around, folded down, and you are writing freehand with your stylus.

  35. The Responsibility of a Student

  36. All students in high school and later on in college encounter problems in the process of handling required assignments.

  37. Student success is directly related to the ability of handling many problems. A student who owns a problem must solve the problem.

  38. Avoiding & Solving Electronic Problems

  39. Reality Check If your laptop is the only place where your textbook, labs and exercises are stored, you will be guaranteed to have issues with required assignments sometime during the year.

  40. Solution #1 Your electronic textbook, exercises, and labs must be backed up on your USB jump drive.

  41. Solution #2 Carry your jump drive with you at all times. If your laptop is not available, you have a backup to show to your teacher.

  42. Solution #3 With your jump drive you can still work using: A friend's computer An Athenaeum computer A classroom computer

  43. Solution #4 If you have no home computer, if you have no jump drive, You can use a printed exercise sheet. You can come before school, . . . . and most importantly . . . . you still have a voice. You can still communicate.

  44. The Worst Non-Solution

  45. Mr. L. Schram and Mr. J. Schram are helpful and they are flexible.

  46. but . . . . they cannot do anything, if you simply walk up the moment that an exercise or a lab assignment, is due, and state... My laptop is at the tech desk

  47. Getting Help
