ICT Classroom Rules

One of our tasks for this week was to create ICT related classroom rules. So, I thought of sharing you my work. Here are 10 classroom rules for positive ICT use:

1.    TAKE CARE OF THE MOBILE AND COMPUTER DEVICES

Hold the devices properly and be careful not to damage them by overusing them or dropping them on the floor. Do not litter on the computer bench. Food and drinks are not allowed in front of the computer. Switch the devices off when not in use.

 

2.    DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING INSIDE THE COMPUTER

Leave the computer or mobile screen as what you have found it. Do not download anything and do not install or uninstall any kind of software without asking permission from the teacher.

 

3.    ASK TEACHER FOR HELP WHEN ACCESSING UNFAMILIAR SOFTWARE

When using applications you are not familiar with, ask your teacher how to use it. Accessing them without proper knowledge might lead you to misuse it or change its settings.

 

4.    THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK

Always be respectful when communicating with people online. Do not use foul words and be sure to use proper capitalization and punctuation. Check your grammar and spelling before posting your ideas or feedback. Always set a kind and professional tone.

 

5.    GIVE CREDIT

When using pictures or texts you have found on the internet, be sure to paraphrase or crop the picture out for fair use. Always cite your sources.

 

6.    DO NOT ABUSE INTERNET DATA

Only access trusted websites and do not consume a lot of internet data by surfing unnecessary sites that take up a lot of internet usage. Be sure to surf safe and secure software and websites.

 

7.    RESPECT EVERYONE’S PRIVACY

Protect your own privacy by not giving out your personal information to untrusted people and website. Do not download somebody else’s personal pictures and do not share their personal information online without their permission.

 

8.    CHECK YOUR FACTS

When reading articles online, be sure to validate your source and research about the topic you are reading. Be careful about reading and sharing fake news and malicious articles. Ask your teacher for help when checking information online.

 

9.    BE PRESENTABLE

When participating in video calls or any activities that require your physical appearance, be sure to groom yourself and wear proper attire.

 

10.  ICT GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT

Be sure to educate your classmates on properly accessing the online world and gently using the computer devices. You may reach out to your teacher when you need guidance and support.

Martines by Anna Felicia Sanchez (Contextual Analysis by Kate Borlasa)

Summary Anna Felicia Sanchez’ short horror story starts with an opening anecdote of Richard Servacio’s father telling a myth of a secret to immortality that “kept the land from drying, from crumbling under the weather of a world that had lost its way along its own axis. With this knowledge, the rest of the land could be saved from drowning in the color of blood, there would be no need for the shadows of things long gone… there would be life…” and so the story continues with Richard and his cousin, Totoy, driving a “grimy” owner-type jeep on the way to an isolated forest – which was once a village – in the jungles of Batangas. Richard, who was a 25-year-old corporate speech trainer suffering from a quarter-life crisis – after being told a “lousy” motivational speaker by his boss for the fifth time. Because of this, he hoped to seek comfort of the countryside view of Batangas and after Totoy promised him that Martinés – their destination – would change his life forever. But rat...

The Bet: Discussion, Analysis, and Interpretation

Image
              “The Bet” is a short story written by Anton Chekhov in 1889. There are two main characters in the story: the banker and the lawyer. They had made a bet on one another after discussing whether capital punishment is better or worse than life imprisonment. The banker wagered two million that the lawyer will not last five years in prison.

The lawyer would be locked away with strict supervision inside the banker’s lodge in his garden. The lawyer can request any kind and at any quantity of books, musical instruments, wine, and tobacco; however, he is strictly not allowed to communicate orally nor was he allowed to hear human voices. He can only communicate through writing outside of his cell.   Discussion:             The excer...
