Online Access
Technology is an integral part of our daily lives. From smart phones to electronic tablets, these devices are becoming items
that many cannot function without. In addition, the Internet is changing the way education is delivered. Lake Technical
College strives to ensure that our students are able to compete in this technology driven world. With this in mind, it is
recommended that students have an online presence and access to the internet.
It is also important that students have an email address that they check on a regular basis. A lot of information may come
to you through your email, so it is important that you check it regularly. If you do not have an email address, there are
numerous services that provide FREE email addresses. Please make sure your faculty have a current, working email
address for you. See your faculty for more information.
Social Media
The advent of social media has created a world-wide communication medium for persons of all ages. While extremely
popular, these websites have also created their own set of “not-so-popular” problems such as cyber-stalking, identity theft,
cyber-bullying, cyber-cheating (posting of exam, or other course material), and a host of other nebulous challenges that
users may face. Another reality associated with social media is its far-reaching consequences for those who share posts
that may be seen by others as inappropriate.
Potential employers, current employers, civic, or educational organizations you may be associated with, and many others
are looking at social media sites for information that may tell them things about an individual. Students should also be
cautioned on how private their social media content really is – despite the settings on an account. All social media sites are
potentially vulnerable. A simple search of how to view pages that are set as “private” for a popular social media website
yielded numerous responses for ways to view the content. Everything from blogs to online videos offer to explain how to
accomplish this task.
Students in all programs need to be cognizant of the fact that most professions rely on great moral character. It is
recommended that when using social media, assume that all posts will be seen/read by everyone with access to the internet.
Clinical
The faculty will evaluate each student's skills/clinical progress throughout the program. The evaluation is a comparison of
the student's performance to the written program objectives, which are based on the Department of Education's
Performance Standards. Evaluations are reviewed in individual conferences.
Methods of Teaching Safety
A basic outline of safety standards and practices is covered along with continuous implementation of safety principles. Skills
are demonstrated by the student in the lab environment and must meet competency standards prior to performance in the
clinical setting.
Evaluation
Class performance, skills performance, pre- and post-testing, practical test evaluation (labs), required written and workbook
assignments, clinical observation, decision-making, attendance, and professional skills are included in a student’s
evaluation. Cognitive, psychomotor, and affective performance, required written assignments and performance of objectives
during practicum are included in a student’s evaluation.
