QUESTIONS
MAIN QUESTION
How should the computer or internet be utilized at school?
Children should have anytime access provided the computer resources
are utilized for educative purposes i.e. anytime during recess free
period etc.
SUB QUESTIONS
1. What etiquettes should followed while using computers at
school?
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 manhandled.
2. Does the use of computers always improve the standard of
lesson?
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.

3. Should homework, projects, compiling portfolios, research, and
etc. be done for school digitally? What do you feel about that?
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 finemotor development

4. Should mobile phones be allowed at school? If yes, then how
should they be used?
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
