Etiquette


 * Etiquette for use of mobile phones in the classroom context**:

Let's together shape up some basic 'rules' that will make the use of mobile phones in the classroom more workable. Many teachers are fearful of having students get out their phones because they think they will lose control and students will head off texting and surfing randomly. Etiquette can help!

1. Any image/video/audio recording made on phones in class cannot be published (e.g. on Bebo) without permission of the teacher and students who are involved. 2. Phones are only 'out' and in use with the espress permission of the teacher 3. Use of a phone or other mobile device int he classroom is dependent on the student confirming it is free from inappropriate content and agreeing to its inspection at any time 4. use of a mobile device in the classroom is a priviledge, not a right

Items 2-4. These are for consideration. I welcome your comments. Robert
