New Classroom Rules by Education Innovation

NEW CLASS RULES



New Classroom Rules


New Classroom Rules by Education Innovation was a re-make of basic school rules to fit our schools as they begin to use technology more and more. These rules made a very strong point, and opened my eyes to the way technology is broadening and improving our schools. The two most important rules, in my opinion, was rule number three, leave your seat only when necessary, which should be often to go collaborate with others or demonstrate something to the class,and rule number one, Come to school every day, unless you would rather just go on line.
Rule number three stood out to me the most because often times in school there is no actual experience for students. Most of the time a students role is very non active, and their job is to sit in their seat and listen. With technology this can all be changed. Students are encouraged to be engaged in their classes. Technology pushes children to learn by experience, and by working with others. Students can learn from one another through giving demonstrations, or interacting with other students. To me this inspires students because they have more options than sitting in their chairs and listening to the teacher, and they can learn from other sources and people. Rule number one stood out in my mind, and was so important because technology opens up an entire new way to think about education.
Most everyone would think of going to school in a classroom setting with a teacher, books, desks, and a chalkboard. With technology students are no longer restrained in this setting, but can be in the comfort of their own home, or in a coffee shop while in class. Traditional schooling also puts a specific time frame of when you must be present, but with technology is schools time no longer is a barrier. People can go to class whenever and wherever they want. This is so important because it allows schooling to be convenient for everyone, and it also opens up a lot of possibilities for people to even have the opportunity to go to school.
In conclusion, technology is transforming our traditional view of schooling. It is taking education outside of the classroom and placing it in our own rooms. Technology is allowing education to be accessible to anyone, at anytime, and anywhere. I think these new rules are vital to are ever changing culture, and is a great way of adapting to a world ever expanding in technology.
