Addressing Last Year’s Concerns
Lack of Classroom Acceptable Use Policy
Guidelines for class use of the laptops and consequences for misuse were at the teacher’s discretion.
We need to :• Create a CAUP specific to our class or
department• Suggest an appropriate discipline system to be
enforced by all teachers and supported by all administrators

suggest to our administrators possible consequences
for breaking them
Addressing Last Year’s ConcernsStudents’ Misuse
The students’ use (and misuse) of the laptops has much to do with Classroom
Management.
The following are the TOP 5 strategies of managinglaptops in the classroom
Student-Tech Helpers
• Identify 2 or 3 tech-savvy students, per class
• Use those students to address common technical issues
• This prevents whole-group instructional time from being wasted
ALWAYS Have a Backup Plan
*Have at least a class set of back-up work
*Try having a related “placeholder” activity (i.e. posting on a discussion board or practice problems on a website) for minor glitches
*Doing so maintains the continuity of you curricular objectives
Have a Schedule/Routine
• Allow the students to become familiar with the formatin which you intend to use the laptops
• When possible, post a daily agenda so they’ll know what to expect
• Have some system that indicates laptop activity/inactivity
Mobility and Visibility
• Monitor by Walking Around“If the laptops are up, you should be too!”
• Rearrange your desks to allow you to navigate with ease; if possible, have your desk behind the student
Engaging Lessons*Students that are engaged in their
learning are less likely to get off task
*Create meaningful activities that utilizes the laptops; lessons should be:
RIGOROUS, RELEVANT & ENGAGING
*Avoid using the laptops for rote practices that could be done with the textbook or worksheets
