Tone Setting/Establishment of Norms

Classroom management starts at the beginning of class. Establishing norms and procedures at the

beginning of every class can help set the tone for the day’s instruction.

Teachers must set a clear tone of a positive learning environment. A classroom that feels safe, open-minded, and inviting is established by the teacher. How does Señor Chang establish the tone of

his classroom? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I_43IeRtr8

(Marzano, 2003)

Rinks’ Class Laws:

1. Start on Time/End on Time 2. Show Respect 3. Focus on the task at hand.

3-4 short and easy to remember rules help establish a tone of no-nonsense and productivity.

(Marzano, 2003)

Today’s Learning Target: By the end of our lesson today, we will be able

to identify several best practices for managing electronic devices in the classroom. We will be able to evaluate the new roles for

teachers and students in a 21st Century classroom.

We will be able to interpret and create new forms of minute scheduling for classrooms.

We will discover several teaching tools and strategies for electronic learning, including: tackk, TodaysMeet, TypeForm, & Google Apps

We will also be able to draw conclusions about future challenges teachers may face as technology advances.

Learning Targets

Providing clarity for students about the content and expectations for the upcoming unit can prevent confusion and limit distraction time.

Teachers should: Establish goals at the beginning of each

lesson Provide feedback on these goals Continually and systematically revisit the

goals Provide summative feedback on these goals(Marzano, 2003)

Managing Electronic Devices

As most states evolve into technology-driven institutions, many teachers are struggling with how to effectively utilize and manage cell phones, tablets, and laptops.

However, research has shown that many classic management strategies are still relevant, and can still be used as primary tools for managing classrooms. Building Relationships Providing consistent, meaningful engagement opportunities

What is your classroom policy toward mobile devices? Do you know your school/system policy toward mobile

devices? https://todaysmeet.com/UNA_ED605_Rinks

(Kyle, 2004)

Strategies for Managing Electronic Devices

1. Establish Ground Rules 2. Focus on engagement, not

entertainment 3. Get the “2Eyes - 2Feet” App 4. Make Attention Important 5. Know when to put devices

away

(Tindell, 2011), (Graham, 2013)

When to Power Down, Power Up

Jacobs emphasizes how the introduction of mobile devices into classrooms has shifted the roles of teachers and students.

Technology has given students the ability to locate and analyze an infinite amount of information instantly. Teachers designate some of their power to students

to empower and engage students. Ways to empower/engage students:

Tutorial Designers (Crash Course, EITMLI5) Official Scribes during group work Researchers Collaboration Coordinators (Skype, Google Hangouts) Curriculum Reviewers

Using Formative Assessment as a Management Strategy

Formative Assessment/Classroom ManagementTools: Tackk.com – Great site for a daily blog, or a

tool for a one-time lesson plan. TodaysMeet.com – Quick, engaging, and easy

feedback and formative assessment tool. Typeform.com – Easy, professional-looking

tool to encourage feedback. Google Apps – Possibilities are endless.

Google Docs, Forms, Drive, & Calendar. It’s a one-stop shop for teachers. Google Classroom is in beta testing right now.

Speed Bumps Teachers who are reluctant to transition

their classroom into 21st-Century curriculum are most often unsure of how to deal with “high-needs students”. Students who are passive, perfectionist,

aggressive, socially inept, or have attention issues are no more likely to create problem situations in tech-savvy classrooms.

(Tindell, 2011)

Tips for Classroom Management

There is no one right answer. Create your own philosophy of classroom management.

Know your system’s policy regarding discipline and electronic devices, then share it with your students.

The 1st day is important, but if something isn’t working, change it!

When devices become a distraction, take it old school. Maintain trust, positive relationships, and high

expectations.
