The computer lab is a place where students learn to use computers as they develope class projects to support the learning activities in the classroom. As every equipped place, it needs careful use. Here are some safety rules that you might need to keep in mind to protect both, you and computers.


 * ====Liquids. Keep all liquids away from computers and electrical equipment in the lab. Spilling liquids can cause an electrical fire, can electrocute the user and can damage the equipment. If liquids must be near a computer, be sure container lids are secure. ====


 * Software. Avoid downloading material without permission. Even though our school has blocked our stations to prevent unauthorized downloading, you should know that many online offers can put your computer at risk.


 * ====Personal Information. A computer lab is not the place for students to enter their personal information on websites. ====


 * ====Personal Belongings. Leave jackets and coats, lunch boxes and thermos in the cubbies provided. ====


 * ====Printing Policy. Any printing activity should be authorized by the teacher. ====
