Tips

1. Always run through a technology lesson ahead of time -- and always have a back-up plan

2. Type directions for frequently used computer operations, laminate them, and connect them with a circle ring. Keep a set next to each computer.

3. Have students turn off their monitors when you're giving directions.

4. Appoint classroom technology managers (attendance, technical, end-of-class).

5. Have older students set up the process for the next class in the computer lab.

6. When working on lengthy technology projects, print out step-by-step instructions. Include some that say "Save your work; do not go any further until you help your neighbors reach this point."

7. Make it a class rule that students can help one another but cannot ever touch another student's computer.

8. Keep a red plastic cup at each computer. When students need help, have them place the highly visible cups on top of their monitors.
