  • 2. 

    Use of the internet at school should be for academic purposes only.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The use of the internet at school should be for academic purposes only, as it is important to maintain a focused and productive learning environment. Allowing students to access the internet for non-academic purposes can lead to distractions, reduced attention span, and potential misuse of technology. By restricting internet usage to academic purposes, schools can ensure that students are using technology as a tool for learning and research, rather than for entertainment or socializing. This helps to promote a more effective and efficient learning experience for students.

Reporting damage promptly helps prevent further damage and ensures that necessary repairs or replacements can be made in a timely manner. Additionally, reporting damage allows for accountability and helps maintain the functionality and longevity of the equipment.

    It is not okay to go ahead and use a computer that is already logged on when you enter a room.

    It is not okay to try and fix computer problems if you do not understand what you are doing.
