=With the increasing use of computer technology by teachers and students, it has become important to establish rules and guidelines for using these tools and creating products with them.= ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

1. When students save school products in digital form, it is important to follow a set naming convention to improve organizational efficiency. The naming convention that we, in the business department, would like to see everyone use is this:

//**pd#_lastname_firstinital_assignmentname**// ,for example, **//pd1_doe_j_essay1//**

The pd# so files can be easily sorted by period number. The last name and first initial so the files can be sorted next by students' names (if two or more students happen to have the same last name AND first initial, simply add extra letters. The assignment name so there is no mistaking what the file contains. The underscores are necessary because with all the permutations of systems and programs the underscore is the most widely recognized non-letter character.
