8. Ideas to help you
At the beginning of the year, introduce technology-related expectations to students and repeat them when necessary.
Introduce the concept of putting laptops at 45 degrees – maybe develop a sign to indicate this.
In your grading rubric or class policy, include points for complying with your expectations. For example – Students will lost 5pts if computer documents are not labeled properly.

9. Ideas continued…
Contact counselors or colleagues when a student struggles to follow instructions/expectations.
Create responses that you can copy and paste when expecations aren’t met:
“Dear student,
Your lacks the proper communication expectations outlined in the RUP and in my class policy.  Please re-send your and verify that you have  a) included a title, b) labeled your file properly and c) included a short message to let me know what the is about.”
