Below you can find a list of rules my students agreed on during our first lessons. If you have computers in class, you may use them as a set of useful guidelines to spark a discussion and create your own rules.
Classroom ICT rules
for 1-1 schools
1. Make sure your
tablet p.c. is charged.
2. Turn it on as soon as you enter the classroom and open
the coursebook file you worked on the previous day.
3. No games should
be installed without the teacher’s permission.
4. Don’t overload
your computer with “flashy” programs. They will make your “Ferrari” slower than
a turtle.
5. Don’t exchange or lend your computer.
6. Share your computer
if your partner’s gets stuck.
7. Keep sound muted
during the lesson. Listen only from the central audio system.
8. Raise your hand
if you need help. Visit the IT technical dept if necessary.
9. Do not access the
social media (Facebook, MSN, Skype) or
other files (photos) during the lesson.
10.Respect
personal data. Don’t share/upload photos unless you have permission to do so by
the school.
Clear, direct and to the point as always! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is worth mentioning that the rules were discussed and decided by primary school pupils (4th, 5th and 6th graders)!!! L1 was used with weaker classes, L2 (English with stronger ones)

Thank you very much Vicky! Integrating ICT into the syllabus requires a lot of discussion with students. It takes time to realize that their computer is not only a games console but also a powerful tool to learn and broaden their horizons!
