Do you have extra time and don't know what to do????

Students have a degree of freedom of choice when using school netbooks.  However, there are certain restrictions.

#1.  Limited bandwidth makes it necessary for us to share our network.  

#2.  Netbooks are intended to serve as a school resource for school work related activities at all times.
