3. New Classroom Rules by Education Innovation

New Classroom Rules is a set of rules who's purpose is to show the technology side of learning. I have never seen rules put in this perspective. My favorite has to be number thirteen:

Be quiet in lines, hallways, and restrooms, unless you are at home and logged into your on line classroom, in which case you can dance and play music

It is so important that kids are able to be taught they way they need to learn. If that involves doing long division while dancing to Miley Cyrus than so be it. Online courses makes it possible.



Another important rule is:

Do not cheat, but remix, re-purpose, and sample other peoples’ work and ideas and give them credit.

Teachers need to stress that other peoples work is helpful but needs to be sited. Giving your kids freedom to copy and paste items and call it their own can cause a multitude of problems. Plagiarism is serious.
