Lunch and learn
- 1. Lunch & Learn Managing Classroom Technology
- 2. Technology Management Pros: Enhances learning for students Provides opportunities for pedagogy. Instant educational access to learning experiences. Cons: Distraction for students. Providing equal opportunity to students who do not have access. Cheating ("Top Hat", 2015).
- 3. Project Based Learning - Group Activities Technology enhances and fosters group collaboration. Using technology for research allows students to work as a group outside of the classroom. Students can use technology to identify research options (TEKS 8C.4) By researching projects, students use literacy skills to enhance the learning process. Students will be able to produce digital products (TEKS 8C. 1) Texas Education Agency. (2016).
- 4. “I only have one computer” Place computer in an accessible and easily supervised area of the classroom. Alternative methods of research Rotations can take place every 15 mins. Post a schedule Create a color coded schedule ("Education World:how To Thrive -- Not Just Survive In A One-Computer Classroom", 2011).
- 5. Mini-Lab Teachers are able to monitor usage while modeling lessons. When researching, students are able to research different topics at once. Collaboration on group projects simultaneously. ("My Nasa Data:classroom Management", n.d.).
- 6. Bring Your Own Device “BYOD” When implementing research topics, it is important for teachers to model for students. Tip 1 - post expectations Tip 2 - allow time for students to socialize so they do not interrupt the lesson. Tip 3 - Place desk when active monitoring can take place. Tip 4 - make sure lessons are appropriate for ipads and tablets. ("Byod: Westford High School", 2015).

- Technology devices in the classroom can be scary, but used effectively they can enhance engagement.Technology management plays a significant role in the learning environment. When students are conducting research it is important for teachers to monitor students work. Teachers should set the expectations and rules for conducting research and working with students on PBL. Technology has the ability to be integrated across all curriculums to enhance learning for all students and learning styles. Takes place across curriculums to enhance learning Technology integration allows more opportunities for teachers to engage in pedagogy. Allows for students to become more engaged in the learning process. Students have instant educational access to learning experiences.
- Technology in the classroom can enhance PBL. Students can use technology to identify research options (TEK 8C.4), research their project (they will need research and information literacy skills TEK 8C.3), create digital products (TEK 8C.1), and communicate their results (TEK 8C.2).
- When teachers are provided only one computer in a classroom, it is imparative be organized and accessible and easily supervised. A few things teachers can do to help maintain organization are “post a schedule, draw popsicle sticks, and establish color coding groups, for students to follow - place names of students with color coded paper next to the computer station ("Education World:how To Thrive - Not Just Survive In A One-Computer Classroom", 2011). Students who are performing research can use other forms of resources such as encyclopedias, interview or books. http://www.freetech4teachers.com/2012/07/tech-alternatives-for-one-computer.html#.WFgAYxsrJEY http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic84.htm Image: http://sharmilafromindia.blogspot.com/
- The "My Nasa Data:classroom Management" (n.d.) website stated that when working with students in a classroom with multiple computers, it is important to take advantage of what resources you have. Students are placed into groups, collaborate and come up with a solution. When they have finished, each group will present their findings to the rest of the class. Presentations are an excellent opportunity to the teacher to check for understanding of the entire group. Another great use of multiple computers is having the teacher use a video projector. By doing this, the students can see the steps as the teacher completes them.
- When teachers are considering the use of technology, they ultimately need to do what works best for their teaching style. There are many different management techniques which can be used are having expectations about BYOD, when it is appropriate, and allowing students to participate in making the rules. When students have devices in the classroom, students will naturally want to socialize, build this into the social contracts and set the expectations. When conducting research, make sure lessons and research is modeled using projectors. It is also important to utilize backup plans in case technology is down.
