Student Technology Handbooks

Right now I'm working on handbooks for a school district to use for students and staff of using technology in the classroom. In my state all of the 7th and 8th graders have laptops. It's known as the Maine Learning Technology Initiative program or MLTI. In that grade it's great giving these kids technology, but it also can have some negative effects. I'm hoping that by making handbooks on what is expected, some great how to's and great ways to use the laptops at home, it will cut down on the some of the problems of the kids using the laptops as a distraction tool as opposed to a learning tool. If you have anything that you think would go great in here I'm all ears.
