The children will be expected to use the computers on school grounds. The school really tries to help the children to learn the technology skills they will need later in life. Technology is a great tool but it also opens up a new window of negative behaviors. The procedure for using the computers on school grounds is:

• Once they get to the computers, they need to make sure the computer is not logged on with another user. If it is, then they need to log off. This is to teach the children to respect other people’s belongings.
• They then need to log onto the computer using their accounts only. They will be banned from the computers if they are caught using other accounts.
• Once they are done using the computer, they need to make sure to log off the computers so others do not have access to their accounts.
• They then need to clean up the area around the computer so it is ready for the next person. This includes pushing in their chair.

This procedure is designed to help the children learn “digital etiquette which is teaching them to be aware of standards of conduct” (“Nine”, 2017, para.7). The children will learn at the beginning of the year that it is wrong to alter or look at others electronic articles. I will give them a short lesson on “digital laws” so they have a little bit of an understanding of the consequences that can happen from unethical technological use (“Nine”, 2017, para.8).
