Technology Expectations
Do's and Don'ts of using Technology in Miss Grego's Class.
Digital Citizenship
Since Franklin Elementary is now 1-1 with devices, students will go through a series or Digital Citizenship lessons at the beginning of the year. I am confident that students will be more responsible and respectful with technology once they know what it means to be a good Digital Citizen in Miss Grego's class.
When to use or not to use technology
Devices can be used
When you see a green apple on the board: devices are okay to have out and be using for the assigned task.
Devices off
When you see a yellow apple on the board: Devices can be on the corner of your desk, but should be turned off and lids should be shut.
Devices out of sight
When you see the red apple on the board: No laptops or devices out. Technology should be put away in backpacks or desks.
Inappropriate Use of Technology:
If students are using their devices inappropriately or when they are not supposed to be, students will be asked to put their device on Miss Grego's desk and will have to use paper and pencil for the remaining assignments for the day. Students will fill out a "Technology Time" sheet at home that night, then the following day they can get their device back from Miss Grego if their "Technology Time" sheet is filled out to expectation.
Your Device = Your Responsibility
Taking Care of Your Devices
If students are signed up in the LMC, then they are allowed to take their devices home with them after school. This means third graders must be responsible with their devices; students must keep their devices protected and are responsible for bringing their devices back to school each day with adequate charge.
Most Importantly...
If we follow all technology rules, then we can have fun with our classroom devices!
