Back-To-Rule (2001) : Stager-to-Go - 0 views

  • Back-to-school time often coincides with the arbitrary banning of toys, apparel and assorted nick-knacks from our classrooms and playgrounds. It seems as if instinct takes over whenever administrators encounter something kids care about. The reflexive impulse is to forbid these objects from the educational environment
  • There are several reasons for taking a deep breath and exercising caution before enforcing the next pog embargo. We risk alienating children from school and missing potential curriculum connections.
  • High-tech devices allowed today may integrate prohibited technologies in the future. Convergence will bring increasing power to kids and headaches for administrators. What happens when the book bag contains a laptop, the laptop contains a cell phone or sneakers contain a laptop and a cell phone?

    Look at the image attached to this tweet. It captures one of the challenges teachers face in an increasingly ICT-enabled world. How do you deal with students who bring pesonal devices (like mobile phones) to class? What happens when those devices distract students from learning? How do you deal with this? Is this a good way to deal with it? If you do this, how long before some of your students start bringing two phones to class? One to give to you and one to keep using.
