Classroom tech-etiquette

Posted: November 23rd, 2004 | No Comments »

Cheap thoughts on franglish about the tech-etiquette in the classroom, since I had to report on it today…

The tech-etiquette: Along with the technology comes a new set of rules, both written and unwritten, for decent behavior. Now, a classroomm etiquette should also include a tech-etiquette.

Le manque de tech-etiquette s’accrue dans le monde du travail.
In a recent Robert Half Technology survey, 67% of chief information officers polled said breaches in technology etiquette are more common today than three years ago.
Tech-etiquette’ blunders more common

LES PROBLEMES
- a laptop clearly represents an intervention in the classroom; thus classroom etiquette may change.
- Instabilité initiale des élèves (Elle est naturelle, mais ne dure pas)
- enregistrement à fond perdu du travail, la page est parfois considérée comme virtuelle et plus jamais utilisée.
- Etudiants de deconnectant du moment: chat/surf personnel effréné

LES SOLUTIONS
Quel type de charte/règlement?

Sur l’utilisation
* L’utilisation des ordinateurs portables a pour objet exclusif de mener de actes d’enseignement ou de documentation. Sauf autorisation préalable ou convention signée par le/les coordonateur(s) du projet, ces moyens ne peuvent être utilisés en vue de réaliser des projets ne relevant pas des missions confiées aux utilisateurs.
* Use laptops for taking notes, conducting research required for activities, and other specific classroom tasks as assigned by the instructor. During class, students should not check e-mail, browse the Internet, instant message, play games, or perform other off-task activities.

Le respect des autres
* Students may take notes on laptop computers in class unless members of the class complain that the noise of the computer is disruptive.
* If you bring a laptop/notebook computer to class, sit in the back of the room so that your typing does not disturb anybody.

Le respect du professeur
* Check with your professors as their preferences and guidelines for your laptop use within their class. This will vary from professor to professor and from class to class.
* ménager des temps de liberté : contrat moral
