Managing Student Use of Computers
• Early guidelines for creating a ‘computer learning
culture’:
▫
▫
▫
▫
Helping one another solve problems
Openly share information and ideas
Reinforcing each other for making progress
Effectively working in physically close proximity to
one another
▫ Collectively supporting anyone who has a personal
‘crisis’
▫ Extending the effective working relationships beyond
the computer environment
Managing Student Use of Computers
• Additional classroom management strategies for
lessons that integrate student use of computers:
▫ Create a checklist and proposed timeline of computer
tasks to be completed
▫ Frequently model effective and appropriate use of
computers
▫ Grade student computer work in stages (outline, rough
draft, final draft) to keep students on task
▫ Give points/grade for productive lab time
▫ Define and communicate inappropriate use, and
enforce loss of computer privileges as a consequence
Managing the Rotation
• Working with what you have (dependent on
number of computers and resources)
• Managing the Move
▫ Group rotation- small groups rotate together and
move from one activity center to another
▫ Independent rotation- groups rotate but not in an
established pattern

▫
▫
