Classroom Management in a 1:1 Learner-Centered Environment Cristo Rey Professional Development With Dr. Sonnenberg and Rockhurst University Department of Education graduate students Presenters: Chris Casali and Charissa Musembi
As we get started: • Technology is a tool • Student centered classrooms engage students • Curriculum drives the tool • Planning with purpose • Students as producers not solely consumers of content • YOU must exhibit digital citizenship • Adding technology always increase engagement “…not empty vessels to be filled but makers of meaning…” DOE conceptual framework
ISTE Standards (international society for technology in education) • Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Research and Information Fluency • Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, • and Decision Making • Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. • Technology Operations and Concepts
Three approaches • Rejecting • Banning=perception of mistrust • Ignoring • Human attention span is about 10 minutes. • Learn less • Accepting • Structured Use supports positive student attitudes • Short lectures followed by: small group exercises, active use of course related software, case students, completing real world projects together
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS • What are your expectations?
Why Teaching with Tech is Different: • Exploration: • Students must experiment with computer tools, keywords, searches, solving problems • Collaboration: • Students must help each other • Teacher can’t be at every computer all the time • Movement: • Movement is necessary • Printers jam and students need to help each other
Why Teaching with Tech is Different: • Students approach computer lessons with high spirits • Don’t fight them • Computer lessons require more direction, explanation and individual support • Takes away from instructional time • Creative Anarchy can be a good thing
Preparation: • Computer lab staff • Role? • Check computer lab rules already in place • Add your own rules if necessary • Computer use is a privilege • A time out from computer use is often enough punishment • Partner tech-experts with tech-beginners
Tops down when requested to do so Or ‘fist size space’ RATS (read all the screen) MBWA (Management by Walking Around) Students should be willing to help Ask three then me Allow time to boot up/set up Distracting=discontinue use for that students Students communicate to others who are off task Grades 7-12: Informal seating, encourage group work Rules (better known as Expectations) • …you can live by • … you cannot Touching a student’s property Take away the device Penalize a student for being off task when you have not set expectations Continue use when data shows negative impact on a learning activity
Additional Classroom Management Suggestions • Hands behind back • Signal for help • Mice away during instruction (if applicable) • Save often • Approved internet sites only • Internet use with teacher approval • Downloading/installing/changing settings only with permission
