Technology Users "Best Practices"

• NO CAPPUCCINO ... Keep all liquids or chemicals away from the technology desk.
• DON'T MESS WITH IT ... Do not disassemble, rearrange, rewire, modify, or remove anything. If you would like the equipment to function differently, please email classrooms@stolaf.edu to request changes.
• CALL IT IN ... Promptly report any problems, with the technology, so we can minimize any disruption of your class and those that follow. Report anything you find not working, missing, tampered with, or really frustrating.
• TURN IT OFF ... Be GREEN and help preserve the college's investment. Turn off the equipment when you are finished..... especially PROJECTORS.
• CLEAN IT UP ... Respect the users that follow. Keep the desk free from chalk, markers, erasers, and office supplies. If you brought it in, take it with you.
