Add Sticky Note
- Designate a scribe. Consider designating a student as scribe for the day
and have him/her take notes for the class. Allow other students to use the laptop only during student-centered activities and not during teacher-centered lessons.
-
Hold students accountable.
-
- Remember, it's about them; not you. You don't have to be a master of
technology, nor do you have to understand everything kids can do with technology. Create a framework for an engaging, student-centered assignment and let students surprise you with their innovative contributions!
-
disruptive behavior with laptops is also more likely to occur when laptops are integrated into a learning activity where they aren't essential, or in the classrooms of teachers who have discipline issues without laptops.

Classroom management skills are a prerequisite to good teaching. When laptops or other mobile devices are introduced into the classroom, it is critical that the teacher is equipped with skills to manage the students use of these devices. Lack of management skills will doom these efforts to either insignificance, frustration, or a backlash against technology.
-
1) Start small, and then grow.
-
Teachers need to feel in the driver’s seat, and the kids need to know that use in the classroom is a privilege and not a right. So, at the very start, the laptops may only be used by a few students at once. I

2) When you first begin using laptops in class, make sure it’s a focused assignment all kids are doing at once, and that you have time to actively circulate as they do the assignmen
-
Add Sticky Note3) Create a culture of good use. This means that good academic uses by individual students should be praised, but mis-uses should be acknowledged and possibly affect everyone’s use.
-
I'm not sure I agree that all kids should be punished when a few misuse.
-
I agree. Praise appropriate use yes. There can be teachable moments, too.

-
4) Have strategies for gaining or refocusing student attention.

Add Sticky Notelids down
-
I say 45 and the kids lower their screens half way.
-
I also have kids put hands on their heads or behind their backs. Physical response is a good thing.

5) Be wary of “note-taking with computers.” It is a challenge to take good notes with a laptop. Tablets make this much easier. Since note-taking on laptops is a challenge for students, you may not even want to try it until you have a good culture of laptop use.
-
6) Technological monitoring and filtering solutions are not perfect.
-
Add Sticky Note"Non-virtual proximity control" ;) is a good idea!
-
In other words, walk around the room and let the kids know you're watching and interested. Notice everything (and try to be positive).

-
7) Don’t forget your established classroom management skills.
-
Add Sticky Note8) Consider using internet logging software
-
Teach kids about Internet history. Let them know that deleting it implies guilt.
-
-
9) Be realistic. Kids need time to develop maturity with the use of laptops as tools.
-
10) Victory is different for different kids.
-
Try to find ways to celebrate all sorts of different successes.
-
11) Catch them being good!
-
Add Sticky Note12) Create Student "Buy-in" Have the kids buy in by creating some of the rules and expectations.
-
Having kids police each other's behavior will also help. Create a culture of mutual responsibility.
