In Ed Tech ,Teachers by Coachburk / Tags: Dennis Grice, Digital Citizens, Learning, pln, Rob Jacklin, Ten Commandments /
As I was contemplating what to write about next, my mind is a little fried with other thoughts, I asked my PLN on twitter. Dennis Grice mentioned I should commented on Ten commandments of school tech support.
I enjoyed the list immensely! I did think how could I fit this to Lutheran Education, since many of us are our own Tech Guys or IT guys. So I came up with my own list.
The 10 LutheranTech Commandments (in new standard version)
1. Technology must be Christ-Centered.
What does this mean: Everything we do, must be to the glory of God
2. Be a Digital Citizen: No Yelling at or Hitting the Technology.
What does this mean: The output of the tools are dependent on the input. If it is not turning on, plug it in!
3. Remember to Save.
What does this mean: SAVE EARLY and OFTEN!!!!!
4. Honor the Computer Lab Rules
What does this mean: Be respectful to the rules set forth your use. Read Rob Jacklin’s Learning from the “Rules” Blog Post
5. Do not click on pop-up ads.
What does this mean: When it states you can win a free iPad, it is a lie! You can’t, so don’t click on it, even if you think it is cool. You could be downloading a virus instead.
6. Filter.
What does this mean:Â Although no filter is enough to prevent Satan, keep the net to catch as many bad fish as you can.
7. Creative Commons Protection.
What does this mean: DO NOT STEAL or download illegal music, pictures, or anything that you did not create. Ok to use if it has the creative commons attribute.
8. Be a Digital Citizen: No Cyber-bullying.
What does this mean: Behave online as you should behave offline. You leave a trace, even if you think it is protected.
9. Appreciate New Tools.
What does this mean: DO NOT BE LIKE ME, who wants everything that is the latest and coolest tool out there.
10. Appreciate those you can learn from.
What does this mean: Use your PLN, Learn from them, but do not be greedy, give back to those who have taught you something.
Maybe this isn’t the best list out there, maybe you have additions or even a complete list that is better, let me know…

Something about digital literacy would probably be an appropriate addition to the list — something about questioning information and sources for timeliness, accuracy, and validity.
Dave, I think that would be great additions. Where do you think they would fit? I tried to base these 10 on the actual 10 commandments. But thanks for the additions…
Great list. I reposted the first one on my website. If you don’t mind, I’m going to repost yours also. It intrigues me how one good post grows through the internet.
BTW–thanks for adding me to your list.
