1	Classroom Management and Technology Part III
2	The Flow of Instruction
3	Planning is the key! Preparation How do I prepare for the lesson? Delivery What do I need to consider when delivering the lesson? Collection How do I collect students’ work? Assessment How do I assess students’ work?
4	Preparation Check the readiness of the equipment Examine classroom configuration to foster the learning experience Assess student expertise for grouping purposes Self-assessment (rubric or checklist) Group students according to needs, abilities and project roles Locate and organize online resources (hotlist) Make online resources and materials (templates) readily available Create a schedule for student use of classroom learning technologies Create an assessment tool
5	Beginning The Integration Process Start slowly One activity…not a project Keep it simple Ex. Pasting images into a document Limit number of participants (in large classes) Become familiar with procedures and class management issues Teacher Students
6	Management Tips Set up a tech squad Deal with tech issues Downloading Camera issues Provide a schedule Camera usage Downloading Editing DP integration Set reasonable goals
7	Delivery Review classroom technology guidelines as they apply to the lesson Review lesson and project procedures Discuss student roles and groupings with the students Distribute and review assessment tool with your students
8	Collection of Images/Projects There are a variety of ways to collect students’ work which includes: Printing Saving to a floppy disk Saving to a folder on the desktop Saving to a shared folder on the network Emailing files Beaming files via infrared (tablets) Saving files to a USB drive Burn files to CD
9	Collection of Images/Projects Create a saving procedure Work process Create a collection procedure Final projects Save to hard drive, network, pen drives, etc.
10	Assessment Periodically check progress by using a checklist Complete the assessment tool based on students’ performance

12	Simple Management Strategies Use your computer as a presentation tool to review the purpose, roles, goals and outcomes of the lesson before using the tablets. Set expectations and times according to each lesson and project. By informing the students of what outcomes are expected and the times to be completed, students will be less likely to stray off task. Certain tools such as graphic organizers can be used to define roles, responsibilities and tasks. Create a help system that students can use when they have questions or need assistance. Common objects such as a piece of construction paper or a sticky note can be useful as flag signals. For example, a green flag could signify “Everything is okay.” while a red flag could signify “I need help.”
13	Simple Management Strategies Keep in close proximity of the students by moving around the room. This will allow the teacher to answer questions while monitoring progress. Use a simple participation assessment system so that you can grade desirable behaviors in staying on task and working cooperatively. It can be in the form of a checklist or a rubric. Students respond more when they feel they are being evaluated for on task behaviors. This system can be used as the teacher moves around the room. Create a sign off sheet or checklist for each project-based lesson so that you can monitor progress easily while keeping students on task.
