Overseeing+the+Construction+Site-+Managing+a+1-1+Classroom

=Overseeing the Construction Site - Managing a 1:1 Classroom= Classroom management in a technology rich environment is central to visioning, planning, implementing, and assessing a lesson. It is perhaps most critical during the vision and planning stages. Classroom management best practices encompass the full spectrum from IT infrastructure to managing classroom configuration and responsible technology use.

The goal of today’s session is to provide you with best practices that support effective student/teacher interaction and enhance learning outcomes.

• Discuss and reflect on current traditional classroom management best practices; • Discuss and generate classroom best practices (based on experience) for the 1:1 classroom, specifically addressing space/configuration, culture, and instructional delivery.
 * In this session, teachers will:**

• Existing classroom management challenges may be heightened by the introduction of laptops; • A well managed classroom will make the implementation of 1:1 most effective for both students and teachers; • Simply introducing Web 2.0 tools to your lesson does not necessarily make it more engaging for students or reduce off-task behaviors without thoughtful and intentional classroom management implementation.
 * As you consider the vision for your classroom management plan, please keep these key points in mind:**

While traditional approaches to classroom management still apply to classrooms that are technology rich, there are additional factors to consider when technology is involved due to its effect on physical space and resources, time, and instruction planning/delivery. Hallmarks of a well managed classroom include a cooperative learning environment with clearly delineated academic and behavioral standards. There is not a “one size fits all strategy” to classroom management in a 1:1 implementation. From the teacher’s perspective, it is important to build a classroom culture that is consistent, predictable, reliable, respectful, supportive, and adaptive. Likewise, students share in the responsibility for optimal learning and teaching.
