Artifact # 2
Computer Use Policy to be posted in the classroom.
Context
This policy was created as a resource to be used later in the classroom
setting. It was created using Microsoft Word 2000. It is a schedule
for use of the computers available to one classroom of students. The policy
also contains a list of rules to be followed while using the computer.
There is a section of the policy for students to sign stating that they
have read the policy and agree to abide by the rules and procedures in
it.
Impact
I will use this computer use policy when I have a classroom of my own.
I can either use the one I have created or modify it for the grade level
and specific group of students I will be working with. I would use it to
go by and have students assist me in developing a plan that they have a
say in creating for their classroom. The rules already in the policy will
defiantly be used and students will have an opportunity to come up with
their own
Alignment
This artifact involves students and the teacher developing procedures
and policies as a classroom project that will also serve as the rules and
regulations for using the computers in their classroom, (Tech.
Competency 14.1). This artifact also has a schedule giving each
student equal access to the computer (Tech.
Competency 14.2) By having the students work with the teacher to
come up with the policy the students will gain a sense of social responsibility
by developing their own rules for computer use, (INTASC
