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:  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.
