It's the first week of school. New students. Names to learn. Relationships to build. Calls to makes. Lesson plans to write. So much coffee to drink. Bulletin boards to decorate. Oh. And there's that cart full of brand new iPads...what to do? what to do? Maybe if I ignore them they will go away? Nope.
One of the questions Wes and I get all the time is, "how to I set up my classroom so technology WORKS?" By "works", educators might mean "how the heck do I get these laptops to stop shutting off?" OR "how can I get the best, most exciting, engaging, creative innovative, INSPIRED learning happening in my classroom? (We love question number 2!) The best advice: OWN IT! Don't leave it up to chance. Think strategically about how to provide clear instructions, build classroom customs and recruit our learners and your colleagues to support all along the way. You have tools at your fingertips that have the power to revolutionize how our learners engage in content. iPads are SUPERPOWER tools that can be unwieldy if we don't harness their power! The great news is: like the Avengers, we are a superpower team! (Insert "Together We Can" here.) Check out these top 5 classroom management tips!
