As a teacher ,How can you maintain security in computer classroom?
1.Organizing well classroom timetable for each lesson where ICT tools should be integrated in your subject
2.Create a class blog or wiki
Take appropriate precautions for Internet safety, but a class blog or wiki can be a great way to integrate technology in the classroom and develop student knowledge. Some teachers use blogs to drive outside-of-class discussion – particularly helpful for AP/IB students who are motivated but short on class time.
A wiki is a website that uses software which allows many different people to edit it (think Wikipedia). Have your students work together to create a wiki on a topic they are studying. They will need to correct each other’s work and collaborate in order to make it a success.
3.Do a PowerPoint “Game Show Review”
Many teachers have used Microsoft PowerPoint to create review games based on famous game shows. These templates are available online for teachers to download and revise, including their own content. Check out this template or search “powerpoint game show template” online. A fun way to practice using a projector and get your students to review important material!
3.Have students complete a written classroom activity as if it was online.
Creating class blog and Take a look at various blog sites (Blogger and WordPress are two of the most popular) and create a template for your students to fill in.
4.Create a class webpageA class webpage can be anything from a basic site where you post announcements (think “online bulletin board”) to a much more elaborate one that includes class photos, a class blog, downloadable materials, and your own domain name. Those of you with a little more experience may enjoy Webs.com (http://www.webs.com/), which offers both free and premium service packages.
5.Use technology as a topic for a writing assignment
6.Use an online grading system
not allowing bags and pullovers in
checking computers after each day'work and reporting
not letting student use them as administrators
keeping the smart classroom clean
· Create both well-lit and dimly-lit areas in the classroom by using bookcases, screens, plants, and
· Provide opportunities for children to move around while visiting learning centers and other special
· Establish informal furniture arrangements where students can sit on soft chairs or pillows, or lounge
· Establish listening stations with headsets for children who need sound, and quiet study areas for those who work best in silence. Many children disprove another commonly held conception: that silence helps kids concentrate better.
· Help students become aware of their own temperature preferences and encourage them to dress accordingly. Temperature preferences vary dramatically, and most children can't concentrate when they are either too cool or too warm.
Computers and how they might be used in typical lesson
• There must be as many computer as the numbers of learners in the biggest class of the school.
• Every learner must use his/her own computer in the lessons that demand computer manipulation and those requiring reading note.
• But in courses that demands demonstration, the learners should follow the teacher while their computers are off and after following the teacher, they switch on their computers to perform what the have observed as exercises.
- all computers should have username and password
- all computers should be protected by up to date antiviruses
- the teacher should not allow students putting flash disks and CDs in computers if it is not asked by the teacher for some lessons.

Re: How to best use ICT in a classroom
The best use of ICT in classroom is applicable depending to the level of students, location of the school, the level of teachers in terms of ICT. So, below there are some proposed ways to use ICT in classroom.
Timetable
Well organizing the lab
Time management
Organizing the students before enering the lab
Give well planned works to students and reactivate them for well use.
- Using
multimedia
presentations in teaching for example PowerPoint presentation that incorporates photographs,
diagrams, sound effects, music, or video clips.
- Using
necessary ICT tools
- Creating
social media like, tweeter and, face book….
- Used
a Web quest that
calls for the student to make research
- Create a class webpage where can post announcements
- Using ICT in assessment
- Create a blog
They should not simply just be administrative tools or electronic proxies, but function more as an integrated part of the classroom and the lesson plan.
ICT Help students become aware of their own temperature preferences and encourage them to dress accordingly. Temperature preferences vary dramatically, and most children can't concentrate when they are either too cool or too warm.
. Create a virtuous circle based around ICT and innovative teaching: Remember that teachers who are more engaged with ICT in the classroom show greater use of innovative teaching methods, and teachers inclined towards innovative teaching methods use classroom ICT better.
checking computers after each day 'work and reporting
: ICT can do this by increased communication and
transparency, as well as recreating a positive environment
Organizing well classroom timetable for each lesson where ICT tools should be integrated in
positively with computers – they are therefore welcomed as a learning platform. Technology should be embraced and its appeal to students should be considered as positive!
Ø Establish listening stations with headsets for children who need sound
Ø Help students become aware of their own temperature preferences and encourage them to dress accordingly.
Ø ICT can increase communication and transparency between learners and their teachers
Ø Creating social media like, tweeter and, face book
Ø Create a class webpage where can post announcements
Ø Provide opportunities for children to move around while visiting learning centers
Ø Establish informal furniture arrangements where students can sit on soft chairs or pillow.

Here is what I do to help develop student capabilities in ICT. Each of the strategies that follow correspond with the above points.
- Give the students a scenario and then ask them to make a judgement. The type of judgement you would consider would be whether they are evaluating the credibility of ICT;
- Assess their creativity based on the ICT techniques, tools and resources they use;
- Give feedback to students on their intended strategies and ask them specific questions to do with the key evidence to support, argue for and validate their decisions;
- Examine the whether the evidence was accurate, logical and relevant;
- Determine if a student can: identify a problem; identify irrelevancies; describe and evaluate multiple strategies; model a problem; identify obstacles and reason with data;
- Ask the students the reason why they chose to use the ICT tool or resource;
- Find out if the students can justify their decisions and question the logic and reasoning behind their techniques.
- Update or use computers software for security (Antiviruses) such as KASPERSKY ENDPOINT SECURITY, AVG INTRNET SECURITY,...
- Organizing well ICT tools classroom
- Organizing time table of studying and doing research
- Create groups of the students and tell them how they can study
- Guide the student during course
- managing time of the lesson
- organizing the safety and rules of computer lab.
- All unused computers will be switched completely
- cover computers after each course
- Avoiding to download uninterested video
- Teaching the users the row of using computer lab.

The Principal Investigator or his or her designee must maintain a detailed, up-to-date inventory of all chemical, biological, radioactive or other regulated substances kept in the laboratory and have it readily available for review. • Secure access to your computer, and report suspected unauthorized access in accordance.
