Classroom+Managment+Ideas+for+the+Tech+Class

Here are just a couple of quick ideas to use in your classroom while using the computers.


 * 1) If using laptops in the classroom, have the students login and while the computer is logging in, have them turn the computer around (screen facing away) while you give instructions on the projects goal.
 * 2) When creating login accounts for websties that you want your students to be able to access and use, use the same username and password for each site.
 * 3) When giving instructions on how to do something digitally that is a quick few steps process (saving a file, uploading a file, embeding, etc.) have the students turn off the monitors, or pull laptops down. The students should watch you complete the instructions. Use the smart board tool smart recorder (can be found in the task bar by the clock, or when you start notebook, under the tab tools) Or you could use a desktop recorder like tip cam, or jing. Record yourself doing the steps. When you are finished save the recording and begin playing it on repeat. Let your students begin their work, then when they get to the part you showed them, they can watch the video.
 * 4) When students all need to access a document, (digital flip book with Microsoft Power Point) save the templet under the shared drive, in the handouts folder.
 * 5) Upload all saved digital documents to your classroom wiki page, this allows for easy access to the documents.
 * 6) When students are saving any file, have them save the file with a title and their name next to it.
 * 7) Have a classroom expert over the project. Teach a student how to do the project one-on-one and complete their project with you, then when you are teaching the class how to do it, the expert can assist you in helping the other students.
