It is very important that our students know how to use all those exciting devices as part of their communication and learning process. However, it seems even more important that they have to have responsible use of these devices to achieve a positive learning environment. Of course we have as a teacher think it is our responsability to model for our students everything we do everytime. In this case, we teachers have to be sure they understand the way our technology devices are supposed to be treated.
I want my students to understand that:
1. Eventhough they have different kinds of materials in every workstation, all our technology devices most be treated with lots of care. Our school district and school have bought resources to support our learning process, so we have to be responsible to use them.
2. We have to set rules to use technology in the classroom: taking turns, the way the students must interact while working in different centers, respecting each other, being polite on the way they speak to the others, etc. Also when they visiting websites, everybody have to be respectufl with their comments.
3. I want my students to be independent while working with technology devices. They can help each other and ask for teacher's assistance.
Wow! Congratulations! You are so smart. You did it!
