research for school digitally? What do you feel about that?

paper.

Respond-In schools computers I use computer for learning to use
different software’s. Computers are also a way of improving the

to some peripherals or hardware like touch boards which makes learning

QUESTIONS
MAIN QUESTION
How should the computer or internet be utilized at
school?
• Respond-Children should have anytime access provided
the computer resources are utilized for educative
purposes i.e. anytime during recess free period etc.

9. • SUB QUESTIONS
• What etiquettes should followed while using computers at school?
• Respond-Children should properly use there given devices and they
should not damage the hardware while using or working upon it. Devices
should be used carefully and the equipment should not be man-handled.
• Does the use of computers always improve the standard of lesson?
• Respond-Obviously, when you have internet access then you can gather
a lot of information upon the topic or chapter you are reading or
studying. The internet can also provide facts and references for the topic
thus enhancing the standard of the lesson.
• Should homework, projects, compiling portfolios, research, and etc. be
done for school digitally? What do you feel about that?
•
Respond-Both seem equally appealing to me. Doing projects digitally
for e.g. a collage, saves a lot of time and a lot of paper but if we see on
the other, side doing or making such projects or collages manually can
enhance all round information and effort can be put in like you gather a
couple of books and you select specific information and use it in your
project; digitally only a few buttons are pressed. Manual work helps in
fine-motor development.

10. • Should mobile phones be allowed at school? If
yes, then how should they be used?
• Respond-Children should be allowed phones at
school but the phones should only register
incoming calls and outgoing calls can be
forbidden by giving them an empty sim card (0
balance) and the use of internet should be
prohibited on such cell phones. Children should
have access to the lobby phones for any urgent
calls. They should be monitored while doing so.
