 ** Chapter 9 and 10 RA P **    __**Chapter 9**__ **Modeling and Facilitating Effective Use of Technology Tools** "personal Computers" or "microcomputers" used in computer labs on desks or tables designed to accommodate them with ready access to electricity and the internet.
 * Protecting Students and Technology Resources
 * Modern multimedia computer can require more than 400 watts of electrical power
 * Dust is the enemy of the computer
 * Air circulation is important- flat screen displays and laptops generate less heat and use less electricity
 * one computer-put it close to the front of the room
 * monitor student activity- make sure they are focused on the learning task as well as ensure they are using appropriate applications and web resources.
 * consider the movement of students within the classroom.- no loose cords, cables, raised floor receptacles, and temporary power supplies, such as power poles that provide access to electricity in the middle of the room.
 * provide adequate table space for the students' materials.
 * Technology-Related Health Practices
 * ergonomics-study of and development of furniture, tools, and systems that promote productivity in a safe and healthy way
 * make sure furniture such as chairs are ergonomically designed to support all shapes and sizes.
 * repetitive strain injuries such as tendonitis can occur during computer use
 * tendonitis-inflammation, irritation, or swelling of tendons which connect muscles to bone.
 * carpal tunnel syndrome- median nerve of the hand becomes compressed at about the location of the wrist. causes numbness, timngling, and pain in the thumb and side of the hand.
 * teach students simple stretches for head, neck, and wrists to promote healthy computer use, especially during long work sessions.
 * to avoid vision problems:resolution- clarity of an image or letter related to the number of dots per square inch.
 * adjust lights lower than for regular classroom instructiong
 * minimize glare on your screen by avoiding direct sun or overhead lights
 * adjust brightness and contrast on screen
 * adjust the size of text on screen
 * blink mor eoften and stay hydrated to keep your eyes well lubricated
 * take a break, if possible, go outside into natural light.
 * do eye exercises
 * computer vision syndrome- can occur due to inability of your eyes to maintain focus on items on the screen.
 * TOOLS FOR USE
 * model and monitor appropriate technology use every day
 * carefully plan for time to set up and put away equipment
 * position computer monitors where they can be observed
 * keep aisles and pathways clear to avoid tripping and ease movement of carts on wheels.
 * keep computers cool with sufficient air circulation by keeping work areas clean and uncluttered
 * reduce dust by covering equipment and installing air filters where possible.
 * carry laptops with both hands with screen latched
 * transport heavy equipment, especially large equipment on carts with wheels, according to the school's safety policy
 * put away and lock up equipment when not in use.
 * report equipment in need of repair in a timely fashion
 * report equipment in need of repair in a timely fashion

**__Chapter 10__** first line of defense in preventing unsafe, illegal, and unethical use of school or district's technology resources **Academic Integrity**
 * Acceptable Use Policies**
 * AUP** is a document that clearly outlines what is and is not acceptable behavior as well as the consequences of unacceptable behaviors.

 * most current copyright law is the //Copyright law of 1976//
 * //Digital Millennium Copyright Act// passed in 1998
 * DMCA was a reaction to growing electronic commerce that heightened the penalties for copyright infringement on the internet.
