Things Your Teacher Prep Program Probably Doesn’t Teach You…
Always include a legality clause. As in… When using school computers to search the internet, do not search or comparison shop for illicit goods or activities.
Today I conducted a comparison shopping activity for my economics class. The assignment was to comparison shop for something that you are in the market to buy… like laptops or shoes.
What is more disturbing: That some of my students decided to comparison shop for uranium and hit men or that there are (apparently) at least three places to purchase each of those things on the internet?
They thought they were being funny, naturally, and hell (or the government) has not unleashed its fury yet, but lesson learned… Every assignment will now include a legality clause! :)
Teaching is never boring!
