Ethics, Email, Network Module - Teacher Tips   

• The Outlook Instructions linked in the Resources box are based on Office 1997-2003.
• The underlined links in number 3 provide instructions for Office Outlook 2007.

The steps under number 4 are designed to explore Outlook tools and features that students may use in your class and high school. You may want to create specific assignments to encourage your students to use tools and features described in the Calendar, Contacts, and Folders links.

 

Step 5 asks students to do a sequence of simple tasks. 

The Email Format assignment asks students to think about email etiquette while composing a message summarizing research on an aspect of the same topic.

Here, also, is a Publisher flyer you can print in color and post in your classroom, to remind students about files they should not delete--ones with these extensions: .swk, .pab, and .pst

Clarify with students that the .swk extension is attached to their MicroType practice records.  You might even encourage them to create a folder called "Save" or "Don't Delete."  Also emphasize that the .pab and .pst folders are email files that need to remain in their root directory

Have these items ready:

• Student log on accounts.
• Temporary log on account for students whose accounts don't work.
• List of students with log on names and student numbers.
• Each student should have his/her course list with student number at top.
• PowerPoint presentation stored on hard drive of presentation computer.
• Internet Permission form for each student.
• The video "Don't Copy That Floppy" to start a discussion of copyright and ethical behavior.
• Class list to check off successful creation of folders in H drive and three goals written.
• Examples of goals students might have for themselves for the year.
• Examples of problem areas students have had on the network.
