Finding lessons and activities that can be done together as a class that way the teacher is in control of the technology. Other ways there is for sure a way for one or two students getting away with using the technology as a toy.]]> 2023-04-02 20:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/carejones01/abtv7r085jby7sx1/wish/2541326975 ledfordpatience https://padlet.com/carejones01/abtv7r085jby7sx1/wish/2541603203 Teaching students that the technology used in the classroom is a tool and not a toy can be achieved through several methods. Firstly, teachers should establish clear guidelines and expectations for the use of technology, emphasizing its purpose as a tool for learning. Additionally, teachers should provide opportunities for students to collaborate and use technology in meaningful ways that align with learning objectives. Encouraging students to reflect on their use of technology and its impact on their learning can also help to reinforce the idea that technology is a tool, not a toy. By emphasizing the educational purpose of technology and providing clear boundaries and expectations, students can develop a more responsible and intentional approach to using technology in the classroom.]]> 2023-04-03 02:34:23 UTC https://padlet.com/carejones01/abtv7r085jby7sx1/wish/2541603203 mcook181818 https://padlet.com/carejones01/abtv7r085jby7sx1/wish/2548312272 I think one way is by having only approved sites allowed to be used on the students chromebooks, and another is having a program that allows the teacher to view what it is that the students are doing on their computers, and close out or lock their laptop if it is not appropriate for what is going on in the classroom at that time. ]]> 2023-04-10 02:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/carejones01/abtv7r085jby7sx1/wish/2548312272
