Explain: The teacher will implement several strategies to manage
student computer use. Just as she does
in any new learning environment, she has students sit boy/girl in the
computer lab to control social chatting.
When students have questions about the technology, she encourages them
to ask a neighbor. Students who grasp
concepts quickly are asked to be tech coaches, helping their peers and
enriching their own technology learning. When students are working on
projects or performance tasks, she will have them work on content first, then
the “bells and whistles.” Then
everybody gets done with the essentials, and the faster workers can add
extras at the end. She will teach from
the back of the room so students have to face away from their computers to
attend the lesson. |
