[W997]Work In A School

by Ruth Wells, Rut

Here are some delightfully unusual ways to jolt your children and youth into considering that maybe your site has something essential to offer them. All of these motivation-makers and apathy-busters show young people that they need your service if they are to successfully survive on our increasingly computerized, evermore technologically complex "High Tech Planet."

The best way to use the quiz is to read aloud each question and the first two (humorous) answers, then see if any of your youngsters can provide the correct (third) answer. The natives of our High Tech Planet make sounds like "ISP," "DSL," "Server," "Sprinks," and "Dogpile." Help your students translate these sounds from the future that are here today:

Can You Speak the Language on High Tech Planet?

1. Soon, everyone may need a home computer to perform essential everyday activities. Luckily, I already have an ISP. It's
a) The I Sense Psychics Channel
b) An Icy Spinach Parfait
c) An Internet Service Provider, which is necessary to connect to the internet

2. Due to terrorists using regular mail, many entities may soon only accept email, and I will be ready because I know all about email. For example, I know that Mailer Daemon sends you
a) Flowers
b) On a long vacation
c) Returned email

3. When most mail-- including bills-- is transmitted electronically, I will be ready because I know that spam looks
a) Best served cold
b) Best not served at all
c) So much like real email sometimes that there may be occasions when I have trouble telling my real email from deceptive imitations that can defraud me

4. When people are upset that the server is down, they mean that
a) A waiter or waitress has fallen and no one will be fed
b) A tennis player is injured
c) The host computer on the internet or a network is not working correctly and they are unable to use the internet or network normally or at all

5. Many-- perhaps most-- businesses, expect all employees to use the network. That means
a) The TV should be tuned to NBC at all times
b) The TV should be tuned to CBS at all times
c) That you must know how to log on to and use a computer that is linked to other computers

6. When people talk about the internet and "secure," they are referring to
a) How calm they feel when they surf the web
b) How happy they are that their computer is not going to fall off their desk
c) Whether it is safe to use a credit card at a particular web site

7. I know that soon everyone will need a home computer just to get their mail, pay bills, book travel, etc. That is why I must know that Norton and Symantec are
a) The two best lawyers in town
b) Two computer nerds who will live in my basement and come out as needed to keep my computer working when I can't
c) Two of the best computer virus protection programs, and unless I install one of them, my computer could stop working

8. It is absolutely critical that you update your virus protection
a) On the latest developments in the Middle East
b) On what happened on your favorite soap opera
c) Often, as new viruses are unleashed and as recommended by the anti-virus software, or else you may not have a working computer

9. As more everyday life activities are done only--or primarily-- on the computer, I will be ready. For example, I know that the difference between RAM and ROM is
a) Just one vowel
b) One lives on a farm and one doesn't c) RAM refers to the amount of memory your computer has. ROM is most commonly used in conjunction with the word CD to refer to the disk used to get programs or data into or from your computer

10. I know that 56K is going to become obsolete and that I may have to switch to DSL. Fortunately, I already know that DSL is
a) Dog Sign Language
b) Doughnuts Soaked in Liver
c) A faster, newer way to connect to the internet that allows voice and data to share one line at the same time

11. When all my bills, personal correspondence and important documents are in my computer, the one thing that I must be absolutely sure to do is
a) Hide the computer really well when I am not using it so no one can find my personal stuff
b) Remember exactly where I hid my computer
c) Back up my computer regularly so I don't lose everything when my computer breaks or crashes

12. Dogpile, Sprinks and Mamma are
a) Very bad names to give children
b) That new punk rock group from Seattle
c) Search engines, which you need to use to find what you are seeking on the internet

Scoring:
10-12 Right: You Rule High Tech Planet!
7-9 Right: More Techno-Savvy Needed
0-6 Right: Lost in Cyber Space

Do you feel tired of the everyday routine of going to school or work? If you are, then you might need a bit of vacation. But the problem is, you can't just excuse yourself from work or school without a valid reason. You can't just tell them that you are bored or something. At work, being absent for no good reasons means getting less salary and the chance of getting fired if it happens frequently. At school, being absent without a valid excuse means that you get no special treatment so when there are exams on the day you were absent, you are not excused and therefore, could not take the exam. So what must you do to skip work or school while not getting hit by all these casualties? The solution is in the various forms of doctor excuse notes.

The doctor excuse notes are simply notes from a doctor that brings important information that would get you excused from work, school or any legal events such as a court hearing. The doctor's excuse notes can get you excused from work and not get your salary deducted. This is because when your employer receives the notes, they can immediately take action by getting you the status of either of the three: ?sick time?, ?leave? or ?vacation?. At these states, you are allowed to be absent from work without getting your salary deducted. Also, the doctor's excuse note can state as to when you can get back to work and on what conditions. This is important because the employer is subject to the medical orders stated on the doctor's excuse notes? certification. The employer is liable if he or she disobeys the orders and got you injured or fatigued from doing such. At school, the doctor's excuse notes can grant you special treatment. If there was any exam during the day/s that you were absent, you can take the exams on a later date and therefore, you can have more time to study than the others.

With all these powers from doctor excuse notes, you should really want to know how to get one. If you are truly ill, an authentic doctor's excuse note can be received from doctors after a check-up. If you just want to skip from work or school, then you can try getting a fake one from the internet. There is lots of website that offer fake doctor's excuse note which you can download and print anytime. But be careful. There is information that must be in a doctor's excuse note to make sure that it is real. Here is the basic information that a doctor's excuse note must have:

? The doctor's contact information. This includes the doctor's name, address, and phone number.

? The date the note was made.

? The name of the patient, which is you

? The certification of medical consultation.

These are the basic information that you need in a doctor's excuse note. Make sure that the fake version you have has all this information so that it would look real.
