Just a minute CLOCK!

2. Tech-etiquette: Principles [The Pen is Mightier than the keyboard]
Evidence shows you absorb less
Technology distracts
Be aware of what you’ll miss
Simple, few and relevant
As part of the team ‘ground-rules’ or regular meeting practice
At the beginning of events and one-off meetings
Agree tech-etiquette in advance
Appoint (or offer to be) a note taker
Use multi-media to project papers for all
Arrange a ‘phone check break every 2 hours, write up / provide wifi passwords in advance; agree photo / twitter ‘opportunities’ etc
Offset the need for technology ...

3. Tech-etiquette: Before Meetings [The Pen is Mightier than the keyboard]
To use your device, confirming expectations of the group
If you are expecting an urgent call or text etc.
If you want to take or publish photo (or a recording)
Arrive early to prepare – and gain agreement to use in advance
if expecting a call, choose a place where you can leave the room easily
Charge your device ahead to avoid trip hazards from leads
Configure your device in advance, obtaining passwords to wifi passwords, displaying papers etc
Minimise potential disruption during the meeting
Disable sounds, pop ups etc.
Place the monitor where it will be the least distracting
Phones on vibrate should be in easy reach within your pocket or bag (not on tables)
Reduce potential for distractions during the meeting

Tech-etiquette: In Meetings [The Pen is Mightier than the keyboard]
Only for the benefit of the meeting
Never for browsing, social media or feeds

Keep it to a minimum
Avoid pounding the keyboard
If essential, subtly check your ‘phone
Excuse yourself and take calls outside
Be discreet
Actively listen and continue your contributions
Maintain eye contact - and monitor your body language
Use e-pen and long hand notes when taking down key points
Pay attention
GOLDEN RULE
Do not wear virtual reality headphones!
