7 Brilliant and Stupid Things Teachers Do with Technology & New Classroom Rules


The two most important things I seen in the article 7 Stupid Mistakes Teachers Make With Technology were not backing up data and thinking technology in schools will go away. Both of these are stupid mistakes teachers can make with technology. By not backing up your data in to separate places you are only making you job harder on yourself when the data is lost. The other mistake of thinking technology will not be with education for a while to come is a stupid mistake. Technology and education are both here to stay so for the educator who think that technology will not be with education for long I'm sorry to stay but you don't need to be a educator anymore.

The two most important things I seen in the article 7 Brilliant Things Teachers Do With Technology were use the kids’ own devices to teach them and empower kids with technology. Let kids use their own devices to teach them if they like listing to their Ipods and watching videos on their laptops, make podcast and classroom videos for them to listen to and watch on their Ipods and laptops. If they are going to be using technology they might as well be learning while using it. Empower kids with technology should become a objective in the classroom there are so many games and brilliant ideas yo can find on he web to empower your students so use them to yours and theirs benefit.


The two most important things I seen from the blog post of New Classroom Rules were, bring required materials, including your laptop and cell phone every day, and talk only when permitted, text at all other times. I think that maybe one that these will be real classroom rules. Now days everyone has access to a laptop or cell phone and sooner or later you may look into your classroom syllabus and this rule will be in there. Talk only when permitted, text at all other times would be a fun classroom rule but I think we would have a hard time monitoring it.
