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.
