As per our various discussions last week, please consider the following text amended to the syllabus:
Students are encouraged to bring personal electronic devices for educational purposes (cell phones, mp3 players, tablets, etc.) Students need faculty permission to make cell-phone calls during school hours. Inappropriate use of a personal electronic device may result in confiscation.
N.B. Students assume responsibility for safety and storage of their devices.
Examples of acceptable educational uses include, but are not limited to:
· Checking a definition
· Inputting homework, notes or other class materials
· Listening to music while working solo or in small group
· Searching for supplementary material or information
Examples of unacceptable uses include, but are not limited to:
· Texting on an unrelated topic to someone outside the classroom
· Searching for material specifically barred by law or school policies
My objective in this experiment is to…
1. Teach and demonstrate good digital citizenship
2 Teach source evaluation (digital, traditional and hybrid)
3Teach how to use technology to produce a good product, i.e. avoiding “death by PowerPoint”
This is not a license to abuse electronics in other classes; this extends only to this classroom and no further. Please make sure that your electronic devices are stowed and secure before leaving the classroom.
