Fall
2014
Dear Students and Parents,
Technology is something that we are all accustomed to in our daily lives. Not only does it put endless knowledge at our fingertips at all times, but it also gives us major distractions. Everyone can understand the positives and negatives for having technology in the classroom. In terms of Mr. Baer’s classroom here is the policy. To preface the policies please remember, you are all old enough to take responsibility for yourself, your things, and your education. Pay attention, be smart, and act responsibly.

Tech
Policies 2013
- Follow all school and district’s technology policies stated in the school’s handbook.
o
If any infraction occurs, Mr. Baer will, and
must, follow the measures the school has placed for disciplinary actions.
- Cell phones are allowed in class, but they will be left on the top of your table/desk. Part of my job as a teacher is to not only make you a good student but also make you a good & honest adult. Hiding your texting under your desk is not only obvious to me, but also breeds bad behavior in being dishonest and "sneaky". If you have a text from your parents, respond to it. If there is an emergency answer it and take the call in the hall, after you’re done, come back in quietly, put your phone back on the desk and continue to pay attention to the lesson.
o
If students take advantage of this policy, I
will watch as each and every student takes their phone and places it in their
backpack every class until the end of the semester and if I see it come out
then I’ll subtract 10 pts. off your next test.
- IPads, tablets, as well as laptops and any other computer technology, may be used in the classroom during appropriate times during the day. Stipulation of use of these technologies is that the students will sit in the very front of the class. Mr. Baer will let students know when it is an appropriate to use their devices. (example: researching, reading, project work)
o
If I catch any student on an unrelated internet
website, messing around on the internet, or not paying attention; ALL
students with computers out on this day will lose privileges for the remainder
of the week. Moreover, the perpetrating student will lose privileged for the
remainder of quarter.
- If you would like to use a music listening device during your own work time in class you may ask Mr. Baer for permission. Do not ask during a quiz or test, the answer will always be NO. If you get permission you will be reminded once to keep the volume down after that warning you will be asked to put the device away.
- Lastly, if there is a film being made or pictures being taken of students in the classroom for an assignment and the work is meant to be shared publically via YouTube, or any social media site, a permission slip will be sent home before the project is put on the web. It must be signed by a parent for every student, if not signed by ALL parents, the project will not be publically shared.
Thank you for following these rules and
good luck this semester.
~ Mr. Baer
