Computers are a fabulous invention. They're better than sliced bread! Unfortunately there are rules. The key idea: Relevance. Is what is on your screen relevant to the topic? Here are a few tips for using technology in my class.
- Social
Networking
- Facebook
is awesome for getting in touch with that BFF from first grade! It
is not meant for using while a teacher is trying to tell you something
amazing about history class
- Please,
be kind. Rewind that web browser to the SCHOOL task
- Instant
messaging, texting, Skyping, etc.
- Again, awesome
way of communicating! NOT meant for class
- Resources
- The
internet has BILLIONS of them
- Picking
the right one is the key
- Keep in
mind:
- Accuracy
- Authority
- Objectivity
- Currency
- Coverage
- Rules of
the classroom apply to this site
- Respect
- Be
Prepared
- Be On Time
- Ask
Questions
- POSITIVE
ATTITUDE
- Respect
- I respect
you. You respect me. One big, respectful family!
- We will
be having LOTS of discussion on this page
- BE
RESPECTFUL
- Please
no derogatory comments to anyone
- There
are ways to politely disagree, that is what discussions are all about
