5. 5 Tips for Moving Toward 1:1
• Start Small
– Select one tool or platform to
engage students in short
instructional task.
– Example: Edmodo entrance &
exit slips; Padlet collective
learning board
• Community first,
connections second
– Web-based rules, norms ,
procedures, and expectations
are the same as classroom rules
– Develop a contract for use and
digital citizenship
• Let Learning Lead
– Plan lessons --- then seek tools
• Take risks, and your
students will reciprocate
– Trying something new will be
time-intensive, keep trying
– Be a patient, learning takes
time, practice
• Keep audience and
authenticity at the core
– Link learning activities (w/
tech) to authentic experiences
for learners

6. What if I don’t have 1:1 …
… 1:7 …or even 1:20?
• Pre-Class Organization
– Policies/Use Agreements
– Use team system
• E.g. Sport Education roles
– Placement of technology
– Create “cheat sheets”
• In-Class Management
– Lead up to full use
• Prep your patience
– Use proximity to monitor
– Allow students to lead
• Assign students to help
– Keep it student-centered
– Station rotation signal

10. Your Variables
10
IF…
(Your Actions /
Independent Variables)
Ideas for your technology
action research project?
THEN…
(Achievement Targets /
Dependent Variables)
What do you envision your
students gaining (performance
target) from your ARP?
What improvements do you hope
to see in your own teaching
practices (process target) as a
result of your ARP?
• Changes to academic/skill
performance
• Changes in student behavior
• Changes in student
attitude/affect
• Changes in your teaching
skill
• Changes in your teaching
methods
• Ex: Providing clearer
explanations
• Ex: Proving timely
feedback to learners

11. Make 2 Lists
1st - To progress toward your achievement
targets, what needs to happen?
– List what would have to happen to meet your
targets?
11
• Plan learning activities,
• Provide instruction and feedback to students on:
- exercise intensity,
- cardiovascular systems,
- mechanics of measuring intensity,
• Create assessments
• Secure technology,
• Learn to use,
• Create technology management plan
• Teach students how to use technology
• ….
• ….
These independent
variables become
your action plan

12. Make 2 Lists
2nd - To progress toward your achievement
targets, what contextual considerations do you
need to account for?
12
• School Policies
• Weather
• Number of students per class
• Space considerations
• Student knowledge / familiarity with technology
• Access to technology
• Length of class period
• ….
• ….
These may
impact/influence
your independent
variables
