  • Don’t forget your established classroom management skills.
  • Try to find ways to celebrate all sorts of different successes.

  • Catch them being good
  • Teach good note-taking skills!
  • For better discussion, lower laptop screens
  • Designate a scribe. Consider designating a student as scribe for the day and have him/her take notes for the class. Allow other students to use the laptop only during student-centered activities and not during teacher-centered lessons.

      Then the scribe can share with the rest of the class.
  • Hold students accountable.
  • Remember, it's about them; not you. You don't have to be a master of technology, nor do you have to understand everything kids can do with technology. Create a framework for an engaging, student-centered assignment and let students surprise you with their innovative contributions!
  • disruptive behavior with laptops is also more likely to occur when laptops are integrated into a learning activity where they aren't essential, or in the classrooms of teachers who have discipline issues without laptops.

ScienceDaily (Jan. 29, 2009) - As technology has played a bigger role in our lives, our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined, while our visual skills have improved, according to research by Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children's Digital Media Center, Los Angeles.

Her research was published this month in the journal Science. Reading for pleasure, which has declined among young people in recent decades, enhances thinking and engages the imagination in a way that visual media such as video games and television do not, Greenfield said. How much should schools use new media, versus older techniques such as reading and classroom discussion? "No one medium is good for everything," Greenfield said. "If we want to develop a variety of skills, we need a balanced media diet. Each medium has costs and benefits in terms of what skills each develops." S
