Classroom Management for a 1:1 Environment

Editor's Notes

• #2: Who has ever caught a student playing tic tac toe? Or Hangman?Who has ever had a student passing notes in class?
• #3: It’s not a tech issue, it’s a classroom management or behavior issue.
• #5: Any questions you can add to this?
• #9: This is a different presentation all together. But we know that technology facilitates all of these things:
• #10: The concept is no different from the first classroom you ever taught in. It just needs to be implemented differently.
• #11: Topic:Are the students engaged in their learning? – Real life, real time learning. Instant research?Method: Are the tablets being used to their full potential, or are they just digital notebooks?
• #12: Teachers model expected behavior – how to use OneNote, when to have your computer open, etc. Students must be taught what is expected of them – You cannot expect them to know how to just do it. If they show you that they can’t do it, then you must teach them how to do it.Must learn appropriate behavior and to self-regulate themselves – We do them no favors by blocking/monitoring/etc. It may make our lives easier but it a) doesn’t teach them appropriate behavior and b) just gives them another challenge, another way to stay off task.
• #14: Proper and effective use of technology is a culture that needs to be taught, modeled, praised. It does not happen overnight.
• #15: Students have mostly used laptops/computers as toys, not tools. It will take time for them to adjust.
• #16: There will always be distractions, always ways to procrastinate. Anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that micromanaging is more stressful than helpful.
• #17: They might make our life easier, but they do not help us reach our ultimate goal: teaching students (in this case, proper behavior).
• #18: At the end of the day, it’s all about teaching and learning and that is what we do.
• #20: What would you do if you wanted to talk to a class of students who look like this?
• #21: 45 – 90 – 180 Simple. Tell you students which position you want the tablet in. Wait for all to comply. Make no exceptions.
• #22: 45 – 90 – 180 Simple. Tell you students which position you want the tablet in. Wait for all to comply. Make no exceptions.
• #23: 45 – 90 – 180 Simple. Tell you students which position you want the tablet in. Wait for all to comply. Make no exceptions.
• #24: Collect and check notebooks to make sure they were on task.
