Get your device ready so I can get to know you….
First Things First…•Every tool presented today is free and accessible on a computer or tablet.
•This week’s backchannel is www.todaysmeet.com/wp2014, and all resources will be available here.
Today’s Plan•We will do a group tutorial of at least 2 tools each hour (minimum of 8 total today)
•Throughout the session, you will also be participating in an online Edmodo class with various activities to be completed between group demos.
BYOD/ 1:1 Management Strategies
•Reevaluate the setup of your classroom- can you move throughout the room while eyeballing the devices if necessary? (*set up a charging station for convenience and less interruptions)
•Use the “screens down” method if you need learners complete attention (also, use consistent phrases-“face down”, “all eyes”, “airplane mode”, etc.
More BYOD/ 1:1 Management Strategies
• Admit to your students that this is a fluid, evolving process (BYOD and 1:1)- you will accept and adapt new tech use, but let them know guidelines and usages may change as the process continues• Set clear expectations• Differentiate the task (if a student is disengaged from a
task and seems to be easily distracted, ask them for reasons. It might be that he/she doesn’t want to type an essay using Pages, but rather prepare a screencast using ShowMe?)
Even More BYOD/ 1:1 Management Strategies
•Group the students
•Have a back-up plan… and a back-up back-up plan
• If you’re super nervous, use Guided Access and/ or a “keep the device flat” rule.
