One of which, a new survey reveals, is device-driven cheating in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Gone are the days of straining to look over your neighbor&#8217;s shoulder to get a look-see at a tough equation. Cheating has evolved and digital devices \u2014 now commonplace in education \u2014 are at the center of that evolution.<\/p>\n<p>A recent McAfee survey,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/consumer\/consumer-threat-notices\/back-to-school-study\/\">Cybersecurity 101: Teens in the Classroom<\/a>, <\/em>reveals that\u00a086% of students spend at least one hour per day using an internet-connected device during school hours for school-specific work and 57% spend three or more hours per day.<\/p>\n<p>The study, that queried more than 3,900 high school students (grades 9-12) around the world, also revealed a concerning digital reality: Almost half of the students surveyed (47%) claim to have seen or heard of another student using a connected device in the classroom to cheat on an exam, quiz, project or another assignment. While students are quick to point out other students\u2019 cheating habits, only 21% admitted to doing it themselves.<\/p>\n<p>While cheating in school isn&#8217;t anything new, the <em>ease of cheating<\/em> via smart phones adds a whole new dimension to the problem. Since devices and learning are forever intertwined, here are a few tips to help coach your kids on using their technology wisely in the classroom. Here are a few tips to help your family get proactive about curbing \u00a0the temptation to cheat. Here are just a few suggestions to help kids use devices wisely in the classroom.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7 Ways to Help Kids Use Devices Wisely in the Classroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Create a school-specific family contract. <\/strong>Create a contract that outlines expectations for device use at school. The agreement could include: Staying focused in class, being kind to others online, following school cyber security guidelines, being mindful of \u00a0your and others&#8217; privacy, and never using a device to cheat on work \u2014 be it classwork, homework, projects, or exams. Integrate into your contract words such as integrity, honesty, and personal accountability to focus your child on the unrivaled rewards of one&#8217;s hard work.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-76698\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_293409674-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"devices in school\" width=\"342\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_293409674-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_293409674-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_293409674-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_293409674.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaborate with teachers. <\/strong>Maximize\u00a0your parent-teacher meetings and back-to-school time.\u00a0Ask each teacher about device use in the classroom. Each teacher&#8217;s curriculum and device integration may vary. Ask how students use devices in the classroom and what safeguards are in place to minimize cheating. You may be surprised how open teachers are about the issue of cheating and how creative cheating methods have become. Explore how you can specifically work with the school to help your child succeed in a device-driven classroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get to the root of the issue.<\/strong> Kids at every grade level cheat for different reasons. Some cheat out of pressure to maintain a high GPA, others for the thrill of getting away with it. Some cheat because they are struggling in a subject and embarrassed to ask for help. Others may cheat because they claim &#8220;everybody does it.&#8221; Discuss the temptations, risks, and realities of cheating with your child. If you can talk through some of these potential motives, you may be able to head off any temptation to cheat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The hidden\u00a0costs of cheating.<\/strong>\u00a0Cheating is an intentional act of dishonesty that allows a student to gain an unfair academic advantage. One hidden cost of cheating is the toll it takes on a student&#8217;s emotions. The effort required to cheat can be exhausting. In addition, the knowledge that one has fraudulently achieved a grade or reward can cause feelings of low self esteem. After all, cheating at its core is lying, stealing, and faking \u2014 behaviors that often perpetuate shame.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-76700\" src=\"https:\/\/securingtomorrow.mcafee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_397614922-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"devices in school\" width=\"302\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_397614922-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_397614922-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_397614922-1-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/shutterstock_397614922-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheating = learning gaps.<\/strong> Cheating kids can become cheating adults. Even if a child gets away with cheating in middle or high school, it can catch up with them in college or a career field when the necessary knowledge simply isn&#8217;t there. Cheating creates a learning gap that will show itself sooner or later. While this is tough for kids to imagine, it&#8217;s a big reason not to cheat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay calm and listen.<\/strong> It&#8217;s not easy to learn your child has cheated or routinely cheats. But, if this is the case, it&#8217;s important to\u00a0hear your child out if you sincerely hope to change his or her behavior. Gather the facts before you react. Some questions you might ask: <em>What has been tough about this\u00a0<\/em><em>class? What stresses you out most about your next test? How much preparation are you putting in before tests? What do you think could help you catch up or even gain an edge in this class?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Set expectations, consequences.<\/strong>\u00a0Discuss your expectations of integrity in the classroom and make consequences clear. If your child cheats, as painful as it is, require him or her to confess to the teacher and any other students involved. The teacher will likely have a standard punishment for cheating (such as an automatic F) or, depending on the circumstances and severity of the situation, the teacher may even offer a way to repeat the work honestly.<\/p>\n<p>No doubt, technology is a permanent fixture in education.
