7. + Technology In here, we think safety first. No food or drinks when Macs or other devices are out. Macs and devices stay on tables when in use. One person operates the Mac or other device at a time. We may have two people collaborating on a device, but only one person is the operator. You must stay seated while Macs and other devices are being used. Technology is only to be used for instructional purposes—unless teacher has instructed otherwise Only a teacher will distribute and collect the Macs. When the green technology sign is out that means we are going to use technology today, but you must wait for my say before you begin use. If you do not follow the rules the consequences are as follows: Warning No access to technology for the rest of the day No access for ten days and administrative or other corrective action will be taken.
