Are Your Students Distracted by Screens? Here's A Powerful Antidote - Edudemic - 0 views

  • Many teachers I encounter have decided that they need to crack down on — if not entirely eradicate — screen distractions in their classrooms. (A minority of teachers accept it as a form of 21st century doodling.)
  • If the activity is engaging and challenging, there is an authentic audience, and prescribed time limits, students won’t mess around.
  • The more time I spend “teaching” teachers something from the front of the room, the more inclined they are to check email, Facebook, or whatever.

  • Add in the possibility that they they’ll have to present to the entire class, or post their creation online, and they’re even more focused
  • the activities are challenging and expectations high
  • it’s more like: “This is hard. And I’m not going to show you how to do it. But I expect what you create will be excellent.
  • Tell students you’re going to present their work at a conference, or submit it to a state publication, and then watch the heightened focus in their eyes
  • Teacher lectures impart useful information and explanations, and they can be lively and engaging.

  • Respond quickly and consistently to bullying. Always try to stop bullying on the spot, as it can stop bullying behavior over time. Do not ignore the situation and assume that the issue will resolve on its own. Avoid forcing the bully and victim to “work it out” on the spot. Get medical attention or police help if warranted.
  • Incorporate bullying prevention activities in lessons. Get creative. Students can learn how to respond to bullying, how to report it (including cyberbullying) to teachers and staff, and the role they play in fostering a culture of safety, inclusion, and respect at school.
  • Conduct school-wide bullying assessments and evaluation prevention efforts. Refine plans as necessary.
  • Bullying generally happens in areas where supervision is limited – playgrounds, crowded hallways, lunchrooms, school buses, etc. Monitor these hot spots.
