TASK 7: FIND OUT HOW YOUR CLASS CAN BEST ACCESS TECHNOLOGY
- One-computer classroom? Decide when and how you'll use the computer regularly with your students. Don't let your computer remain a $1,000 eyesore this year.
- Classroom center containing four or more computers? Determine how to structure activities so students can be as self-directed as their ages will allow? Are there new ways to use the center in your curriculum?
- Computer lab? Talk with the lab teacher about concepts or skills you want reinforced. If you do the instruction, beat the crunch by signing up for the lab now!
- Laptop cart? Learn the policy for signing up. If you've never used the cart before, be sure to take some time before school begins to learn how to set up a room full of laptops.
- Individual laptops? Decide now how you'll allow students to use their laptops; talk to other teachers about how they use laptops in their classrooms.
