Media Resources & Technology Classroom

CLASSROOM SECURITY

• TCs should be locked at the end of the day (last scheduled class), during the day when no class is scheduled after yours, and during the day if no scheduled class has appeared by the time yours is ready to vacate.  The TC’s have an estimated $20-60,000 worth of equipment in the room for which, in most cases, we have no backup. Please, keep the TC’s locked. 
  

• No food or drink is allowed near the TC teacher’s console.
