Classroom management involves organizing students, space, time, and materials to facilitate instruction and learning. Effective classroom management maximizes instruction time and minimizes disruptions through strategies like behavior tracking systems, timers, random student selectors, forms for tracking data and contacts, seating charts, positive reinforcement, screen sharing software, digital submission tools, rubric builders, and noise meters.

2. What is classroom management?
Classroom management is all of the things that a teacher
does to organize students, space, time, and materials so
that instruction in content and learning can take place
(Wong, 1991).

4. 2) Timers
• Timers are great for giving extra structure to a
lesson. Whether for transition time, classwork
time, or even a provided break, timers keep the
teacher and students on track.
• Timers with Music Classtools.net
• Various Timers online-stopwatch.com

5. 3) Student Selector (Name Generator)
• Put away the old popsicle stick technique.
These sites provide an easy way to randomly
select a student from your class.
• Some setup is required, but once students
have been entered sit back and watch the
computer do the work.

9. 7) Screenleap.com
• Share your screen with others so that they can
feel more involved with the class.
• Students can also be asked to share the screen
so that you can look into what they are doing.
(Not recommended for video since it is very jumpy.)

• Forget those jump drives being passed around
the room in a hurry at the end of a project.

work to your dropbox account. No email or
login is necessary for students.

lesson.
