  Case: Takes notes on I-Pad
I have a strict no-technology during instruction policy. Two students are taking notes on I-Pads and clearly are using them for more than just note-taking. Am I being too strict? If not, how should I approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not believe that you are being too strict on this topic. Students, especially now, are only into their phones and the media. I would have a talk with the students and the parents about your no-technology rule. If they want to use it to take notes, there will be rules to follow, such as sitting within my eye sight, having the iPad face down on the desk to be able to see what is going on at all times. I would also see if there is a way to only use a specific app to take notes so they are only able to use that app.
