No Food Or Drinks.

I actually like letting my students have food and drinks in class. I usually approve of drink bottles on the desk to sustain hydration and general health.

But I don’t let students have food and drinks around technology – ever.

One spill and that’s the end of a $700 piece of equipment. Eeek! Your boss will be mad as hell at you for letting the students get food and drink anywhere near this valuable tech.

Don’t Change The Settings.

Ever logged onto a computer and realized… damnit, a student has done something here. Some smart alec has made the cursor move really fast, or made it make a fart noise every time you click. Or the computer’s default language is now Russian. The most common one, though, is a new background screen … made on MS paint, of course (hello, 1995). So I simply reinforce the rule: don’t change the settings. Any settings. At all  Period. Rules of the Lab . (s. f.).

Wash Your Hands Before Using The Computer.

Students walk into the classroom with dirty, sticky and snooty hands   all the time . This is especially true of classes that take place straight after a lunch break. I enforce a “wash your hands before class” rule. No one wants sticky keyboard that, so one or later, will end up with with broken and useless keys.

  It is so frustrating when you start speaking and. the whole class keep clicking away at their screen. For some reason, computers are just  so  addictive for students. They will be so engrossed in their task that they totally ignore your voice.
