• 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 man-handled.

• 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.

• 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 fine-motor development.

• 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.
