Get It W.R.I.T.E. the Sequel

Some references we found that might help you learn to use a digital camera better:

Once we learn to use a digital camera, we’ll need to learn how to use it for writing instruction.

It’s important that you choose a storyboard template that matches the type of media that you will be using.  We’ll need to come up with three storyboards during this session:

• A day in the life of a teacher (digital story)
• Weather [Science 2.6] (Podcast/newpaper ad)
• Book Report (PowerPoint)

If you can’t find a template that’s already been created, you’ll need to make one. You can try the one below, or follow one of the links.

For a basic look at the components of what classroom management with technology should be, we’ll look at Nellie Deutch’s presentation.

Next, we’ll drop by New York’s PBS channel Thirteen for a mini workshop on Best Practices in Managing Students with Computers

The Intel Education Initiative provides a little Q&A for us: http://www.intel.com/education/newtotech/managing.htm

Recognizing that theory is great, but that we do need some practical suggestions, I suggest we take a look at what the folks at Kennesaw State University in Georgia are teaching: http://edtech.kennesaw.edu/intech/classroommanagementstragies.htm as well as what the Instructional Technology Coaches in Christina, Delaware have put together: http://www.christina.k12.de.us/techlearn/staffdevel/one-comp-class2.htm

The Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation in Canada makes some good suggestions on several topics:

• ICT integration in the once computer classroom:  http://www.cdli.ca/~jscaplen/integration/english/toceng.html
• Making your students more independent:   http://www.cdli.ca/~jscaplen/integration/english/independent.html
•  Using Task Cards:       http://www.cdli.ca/~jscaplen/integration/english/Appe.html

You may also want to take a look at a list compiled by some Australian teachers : http://www.schools.net.au/edu/education/resources/managing_classrooms_full.html

Is management going to be easy or difficult?  Will the results be worth the additional work up front?  Did any of the ideas appeal to you?
