Classroom Management in a 1:1 Learner-Centered Environment Rockhurst High School With Dr. Sonnenberg, Rockhurst University Department of Education Lauren Eddy, Graduate Student
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, 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
Rules (better known as Expectations) • …you can live by • … you cannot • 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 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
What’s your plan? Enhance, not distract
