4)My computer won�t log in.

Check to see that you spelled your name correctly and that your username
begins with a number.
Then check to see that your cap locks is turned off. (No green light)
Then check to see that you are using the right password. It should be written
somewhere in your binder.
Then check to see that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the computer. The
Ethernet cable looks like a telephone cable.
Change your seat if all else fails.  If this doesn�t work call me.

5)Where do I print to?

Print only final copies to Room 301 from your list of printers.  The printer
is outside of the room. It is not the black printer in the room.
Do not print websites or long pages of text.  If you need information from a
particular article or website, copy and paste only the information relevant to
you in a Word document, cite it, and then print that.  You will be saving a
lot of paper.
