New Classroom Rules by Education Innovation

For this blog, I read two lists of things stupid and brilliant that teachers do with technology. I also looked at the New Classroom Rule by Education Innovation. Out of the three lists I picked out three of the data that I believe was the most important. The first piece of information comes form the list titled 7 stupid things that teachers do. The first one is that teachers do not have back up data. Doug Johnson says that doing it once, he feels sorry for the teacher. However, when the teacher allows it to happen twice then they are just plain stupid. It is very important to have copies of your data any many different ways. Such as saving it to a flash drive, on your computer, and then onto another computer, and even maybe on your email. I would even have a hard copy of my data just in case of an emergency. Th second piece of information also came from Doug Johnson's 7 stupid things teachers do. It is not supervising computer-using students. I believe this one is particularly important because students are a lot smarter than they come across to be. Students are capable of getting through Internet filters. Students and children use the computer and technology during most of their during their everyday lives, so they figure out little tweaks that they can make to a computer to get into what they want. The last piece of information that I looked at and thought was important came from the new classroom rues by education innovation. This was bring required materials to class, including your laptop and your cell phone. I think that it is absurd that students arenot allowed to bring their laptops to class because if they have it they will always have the Internet available to look up any multiple amount of information on a subject. Students also can do this from the cell phone if they needed to and having a cell phone is also a good safety precaution. To look at each one of these lists go to the following sites: 7 Stupid Things ,
