MacBook Air Lab:

In this course students will have the privilege of using a dedicated MacBook Air computer lab that we will have access to for every class. 

These computers are significantly more expensive than Chromebooks and as such need to be treated with the utmost respect.  

Students will be assigned a MacBook that they will use throughout the semester and will be checked on routinely to make sure the device is being used appropriately.  

There will be no food or drink allowed in this class with no exceptions.  

Students who cannot treat the lab respectfully will be removed.  Because students will be using macs they will not ever need their Chromebooks.

Classroom Rules and Expectations:

Complete all assignments to the best of your ability

Treat everyone with dignity and respect

Ask for help or clarification when needed
