  1. Computer Use Best Practices • Basic Teaching Guidelines for computing in the 21st century

  2. Purpose • The purpose of this presentation is to offer teachers some very basic technology Guidelines to promote safe and productive Computer use

  3. Student expectations • Computers are intended for School Work • Surfing the internet for one’s personal interests should not be permitted • continually remind students that they should be doing exactly what is asked of them with the computer and monitor this behavior

  4. Recommendations for the web • preview sites you want your students to use for research • Place links to the sites in the shared folders or on your teacher page or wiki • Use Netrekker to find student appropriate sites • Make it the exception that students go on sites that you have not previewed

  5. Consistent Consequences • If a student uses his/her computer account inappropriately, there needs to be time off of the computer • Time off will vary based on what the student was doing and of course, grade level but there must be a consequence every time. • If a student is removed from the computer, He/She should be given work to do with paper and pencil • students will learn quickly that they must be on task or they will be off the computer

  6. Laptops and Mini labs • students should not be left unattended at any time • Use Parents or aides in mini labs in the hall or labs off of the classrooms as much as possible • Laptops in classrooms should be facing toward a teacher so he/she can view screens • Students should be assigned the same computer each time it is used • Students should work in groups as much as possible

  7. Caution for Teachers • If you open a site on your computer that is blocked, be sure to quit your browser when you are done. You cannot unblock sites for students • do not let students on your computer Under your login • do not share any passwords with students or substitutes • When a substitute is in the classroom, consider not utilizing the computers for that period of time

  8. Credits Slideshow created by Joan Thompson, ETS @ MPES Edited and additions made by Sam Thompson, ITC @ PCSD This slideshow is intended for teachers, but the information therein is NOT policy and should be used accordingly in each educational setting.

  9. Questions to ponder • Should we have computers outside of the classroom or lab? • Should systems shut off and lock up after a certain time in the afternoon? • Can a teacher decide to remove access (computer login) for a student or should an building administrator/counselor do it? • Should we not allow students to use a teacher machine, even if under their login?
