Rules for the Computer Lab

1. Treat them right, and they will treat you right. Be gentle and take care of them.
2. Do not share personal information online. Don't share passwords with others online.
3. Work on building a community, try to help and support others. If you don't have something nice to say, you shouldn't say it.
4. Use language, spelling, and grammar appropriate (correct) for school.
5. Go only to online sites you are sent to. Always check before going somewhere that is not on a list of links from your teacher.
6. If you change someone else's work (like on a wiki) make sure it's to improve the work, not to be mean or take revenge.
7. Get educated, get learning, but have fun while you're doing it.
