Classroom Management What works now? • On your index card please write one classroom management technique that you use in your classroom to keep students on task. (It does not have to involve technology.)
Lesson Design Remember: • Technology is a tool • Teaching isn’t about the tool • Curriculum drives the technology • “O2” – ubiquitous, necessary, invisible
Lesson Design • Use backwards design • Project-based learning • Authentic assessments • Students as producers of content • Collaboration
Incorporate the Four C’s • Communication – Prepare students to be effective communicators. • Collaboration – Use online tools to discuss ideas, share research, peer edit, and collaborate. • Creativity – Promote writing, artwork, videos, and combinations of them. • Community – create a community of learners to deepen knowledge through interaction.
Understand • If you have poor management now, laptops won’t change that. • Adding laptops doesn’t mean more learning. • Adding technology to a boring lesson does not necessarily make it interesting.
Before You Start Teaching • Have clear expectations • Plan well • Use technology with a purpose • Don’t add technology to the same old lesson • Test your lesson on a student computer • Use Edline for links, handouts, quizzes
Before You Start Teaching Think about what works for you • Headphones? Music? • Chat? • Email? • “Multitasking?” • Rearrange your furniture? • Consequences?
Practical Tips • Laptops fully charged at 8:00 am • RATS – read all the screen • Be willing to help each other • “45 your screen” • If teacher closes lid, teacher opens it • MBWA - management by walking around
Expectations for Students • Let’s create them • I’ll e-mail you the document
