The document discusses effective classroom management strategies in a 1:1 technology environment, emphasizing that technology should serve the curriculum rather than dictate it. It highlights the importance of establishing clear expectations, utilizing consistent lesson design, and fostering a collaborative learning community. Practical tips are provided for maximizing the use of technology while maintaining student engagement and effective communication.

1. CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
in a 1:1 environment

2. WHAT WORKS NOW?
What classroom management techniques do you use
that help you to create the type of learning
environment you want in your class (to keep students
on task)?

3. LESSON DESIGN
Remember:
Technology is a tool.
Teaching isn’t about the
tool.
Curriculum drives the
technology.
“O2” - ubiquitous,
necessary, invisible

4. LESSON DESIGN
Use backward design.
Project-based learning.
Authentic assessments.
Students as producers of content.
Collaboration (in class & global).

5. INCORPORATE ISTE’S 4
C’S
Communication - Prepare students to be effective
communicators.
Collaboration - Use online tools to discuss ideas,
share research, collaborate.
Creativity - Promote writing, artwork, videos, and
combinations of them.
Community - Create a community of learners to
deepen knowledge through interaction.

6. EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
Exhibit Citizenship
Communicate Effectively
Think Creatively and Reason Critically
Utilize Information and Technology Effectively

8. 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 the lesson more interesting.

9. BEFORE THE STUDENTS ARRIVE
Have clear expectations.
Plan well.
Use technology with a purpose.
Test your lesson on a student computer.
Use your wiki for links, handouts, and other
resources.

10. BEFORE THE STUDENTS ARRIVE
Think about what works for you:
Headphones? Music?
Chat?
Email?
“Multitasking?”
Rearrange your furniture?
Consequences?

11. PRACTICAL TIPS
Laptops fully charged at 8:00 am.
RATS - Read All The Screen.
Students should be willing to help each other.
“45 your screen.”
If the teacher closes the laptop, only the teacher opens it.
MBWA - Management By Walking Around
Apple Remote Desktop (ARD)
