My Tips for Classroom Computers

 Tips for Computers-

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.





  1. 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
  2. Resources
    • The internet has BILLIONS of them
    • Picking the right one is the key
    • Keep in mind:
      • Accuracy
      • Authority
      • Objectivity
      • Currency
      • Coverage
  3. Rules of the classroom apply to this site
    • Respect
    • Be Prepared
    • Be On Time
    • Ask Questions
    • POSITIVE ATTITUDE
  4. 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
