Seven and New Classroom Rules

I found the seven stupid mistakes teachers make with technology very insightful. There were some that I found funny and some that I found very very important. One that I found kinda funny was number 3. Teachers should never treat their school computer like a home computer. A professional/work computer should only be used for professional purposes. Many teachers have gotten in trouble in the past for using those computers for naughty purposes. I also liked number 6. It was about ignoring the intrinsic interest of tech use in today's kids. I agree that most kids are fascinated with technology, therefore we should take full advantage of it. Click here to view this article.


The seven brilliant things article was really motivating for me as a future educator. I do believe that kids can be empowered with technology. One should also be creative in teaching this. Click here to view this article.


The new classroom rules list was very funny but useful. Good, old-fashion rules of conduct and classroom etiquette never go out of style. Some of those things in that list shouldn't even have had to be said. But in this day-in-age we must cover all our bases. I especially liked number 5, which stated "talk only when permitted and text at all other times. I thought that statement was brilliant! I also found number 10 to be important. Politeness, courteousness, and kindness always goes a long way. This is important for teachers, students, and parents! Click here to view this article.
