Now we have "BYOD", or "Bring Your Own Device" policies in place in most schools, in order to maximize the number of internet-connected devices in classrooms so that teachers can more readily integrate learning technology into their programs.
With such changes comes new territory in terms of ethics, responsibility and classroom management.
In an attempt to set the stage and begin as I mean to go on, I've developed a series of lessons and activities to complete with my classes before allowing/encouraging students to bring their devices -- if they have any -- to class. Below are two powerpoints, a digital compass reference graphic, and a "digital citizenship quiz". All materials were borrowed and/or adapted from various other educators, and customized for my particular teaching and learning situation.
If you find them useful, feel free to modify and use them with your own students!
