The Rules (Please Abide!)

1) Computers, do not good teaching make. Ignorance, on the otherhand, can ruin it.

2) I can't filter that for you. Filtering will get us nowhere. Just ask any former fascist state.

3) Ask questions when they arise. I don't know what you don't know unless you tell me. Your kids work the same way.

4) I can't fix your mother's computer. I actually want to help you, but I have hundreds of computers that take up my entire day, everyday, and when I go home, I really just want to play with an abacus and listen to 78s.

5) Yes, they make a software that will automate that, but suggest it. Don't demand it.

6) Give your co-workers and fellow students a hand when I'm not around. Learning often happens by teaching. Even with computers.
