We’ve all seen the black and white images of the one-room
schoolhouse. Students sit in perfect rows that face a teacher who’s
writing on a chalkboard. Up until the last decade, our classrooms
haven’t drastically di ered from those 100-year-old images. We are
so fortunate to be living and teaching in a time of rapid educational
change. Instead of personal student chalkboards, a number of
students now have access to electronic tablets. Many teachers can
now use Smartboards instead of dry-erase boards. The limits of the
central textbook have transcended the limitless information
gathered online.
Lastly, have a system for student logins. Any teacher with computer
use experience knows the student login headache. Help students
become more independent by creating login cards. Each
personalized login card should include the device login, then a
couple of the main websites or apps used. Be sure to keep a master
list of logins. For the most part, logging in should be the
responsibility of the student — though that does depend on age and
whether or not your students have any special needs.
As you are circulating around the room, catch a student who’s doing
something well and point out that student to the rest of the class.
O en times students who don’t excel in traditional class settings
don’t have a chance for a lot of praise. Technology changes that
environment, providing opportunities for all students to shine,
including English learners, introverts, and those who may lack
proficiency in certain subjects.
