The
St. Paul's Computer Lab was designed and built by Tech Access Pa,
an effort made possible only through many generous donations from
individuals, companies and agencies. The computer equipment is by
its nature fragile, and it is a valuable community resource. Accordingly,
we ask that the following considerations be kept in mind while using
the lab:
1. No
Small Children Allowed in the Lab.
For the safety
of our equipment, but most importantly for the safety of the children
themselves, no small children will be allowed in the computer lab.
If daycare considerations are keeping you from taking classes, please
talk to one of our councellors and we will try to work something out
for you. Call and leave a message describing your problems at (215)
424-4800 extension 108, or email admin@techaccesspa.org.
2. Absolutely
no food or drink will be allowed in the computer lab.
Food, liquids
and sticky things just don't mix with computers.
3. Be
aware of your surroundings and move with care.
We
have tried to wire the room in such a way as to keep all cables out
of the way of feet and chairs, but the very nature of the room requires
lots and lots of wiring. The computers themselves are under the tables
where your feet go. Move carefully when sitting, getting up and moving
about, or shifting your seat.
Other
Rules:
1.
No Cell Phones.
If
at all possible, turn off your cell phone before class begins. But
at least put Cell Phones on Silent Mode. Then, if you must take a
call, exit the room quietly before doing so.
2. Do
not use your computer to surf the web, check your email, or play games.
About half of
each class will be hands-on. Please do not move ahead of the instructor.
Under no circumstances may a student use his computer to surf the
web independently or to check email or to engage in any other non-class-related
activities. If you need internet access for a personal reason, tell
the instructor and, if possible, you will be acommodated after the
class has ended. NEVER DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM THE
INTERNET TO YOUR COMPUTER STATIONS.
