  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!)
If your expectation is that there are no technologies in the classroom, then telling the two students to put it away is not too strict. Students need to respect the expectations put in place. Now, if they have an accommodation where they need the Ipad to take notes, then that is one thing, but if they are using technology and not using it properly, then you need to ask them to put it away and have them not bring it to school from then on. If the issue increases, see what your administration would do in that situation, it may have to come to bringing the Ipads to the front so a parent can pick it up.
