Managing the 1:1 Classroom

• Please put your iPads facedown• Place your laptop screens in a 45 degree

angle.

Planning

• Create constructionist, inquiry-based activities and share what students discover

• Classes should become more student-centered• Make sure to differentiate tasks• Each student should have an assigned role in group

activities• Use timers so students stay focused• Make sure desks are in rows if iPads are used for tests

or quizzes • Make sure to have back-up plans in place.

Setting Expectations

• Set clear expectations on how and when students are to use their iPads appropriately

• Manage students and their behavior– Would you take away their pencils and notebooks

for the similar offences?• Teach responsibility to students– Explain why certain behaviors are inappropriate

• Move around the room • Avoid any downtime if possible

Experiment

• Test drive any new apps and provide feedback on its instructional usefulness.– Can anyone say Math Bingo?

• Put the iPads away sometimes• Explore incorporating gaming into your lesson

plans as you become more experienced• Use small amounts of free play as an incentive

to completing assignments in a timely manner
