Classroom:
Rules & Expectations
(Respect for oneself, others and the
learning environment)
1) Golden Rule! Treat others as
you expect to be treated.
2) Students must be in the room when class
starts. Class starts when the clock hits that minute. You will be
standing the first 10 minutes of class if you are late after the first
week.
3) Students will raise their hand if they have a question.
Don't bark at me! = )
4) Students are expected to follow the
activities on the calendar.
5) Students will not disturb other students, but help
each other to create a positive learning environment.
6) Students will
not bring backpacks or unnecessary items to class. Expect to lose them
if you do!
7) It is expected
that students will act in a professional manner in this lab and will not
risk any damage to the computers or furniture through negligent behavior.
Students who fail to comply with these rules, may lose their computer
privileges. 8) Students are expected to put materials and equipment back
where they found it and keep their stations clean.
Daily Routine
1. Come straight to class. If you need
to use the bathroom or do anything during the passing period, make sure
you are not tardy (in your seat before the bell rings). Check the table
on the way in for papers to pick up.
2. Students will come into class, get logged on and go to
www.dmscompapp.com.
3. Students can go to the
calendar and start working on the
typing lesson for the day.
4.
After about 5 minutes of typing, I will tell students it is time to go
to the calendar and listen to the daily podcast. As podcasts are playing
students are expected to sit an listen. On certain days the podcasts
will include steps you must follow, so you must listen.
5. After
podcasts finish, students will either be follow
daily activities on
calendar or be instructed to roll to front of class for instruction.
6.
Students will spend time working on assignments.
7. Students will
turn assignments into tray.
8. Students will be allowed to use the
Finish Early
link when they complete assignments.
Absences
It is the students
responsibility to check with me after an absence for any missed
assignments.
Grading Policy
I will specify the
grading criteria/rubric for each assignment. In general, an A is earned
if the student puts forth their best effort and completes all parts of
each assignment by following the guidelines of the rubric. Grades are
lowered if not all the assignment is completed or the student does not
use proper technique or does not use their class time effectively. You
will be keeping track of your grades also, so at anytime you can figure
your grade in Excel. It will be a simple points system!
