CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT TIPS
• TRAIN YOUR STUDENTS!– They must know the rules and know
when it is acceptable and appropriate to be working on the computers.
• Find an organization system that works for you.
• Arrange your computers so that you can see all screens at all times.
• Label your computers – number, center, activity. Adding FEATHERS to your labels can be very helpful.
![Page 14: Fitting It All In: Technology, Curriculum, and Fun! Presented by: Jill Esquivel 5th Grade Teacher Forked Island – E. Broussard Elementary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5515929e550346a1418b5b1e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: CHARTS
• POCKET CHART– Number pockets so that they can be used year
after year.– Use index cards with READY printed on one end
and DONE printed on the other.• CENTER CHART
– Keeps students organized in groups -- very visual.
– Easy to change groups.– Shows rotation order.– Is helpful for substitutes.
• T – CHART– Use clothespins (labeled with names or
numbers) to manipulate from one side to the other.example: ready/done
![Page 15: Fitting It All In: Technology, Curriculum, and Fun! Presented by: Jill Esquivel 5th Grade Teacher Forked Island – E. Broussard Elementary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5515929e550346a1418b5b1e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• DIGITAL FOLDERS– Create a folder for the students to save their
projects in.– Create folders on your computer or school server
to organize your work: think of a filing cabinet.
– BACK UP YOUR WORK DAILY!!!!MANILA or POCKET FOLDERS– Make a folder to turn in hardcopies of all projects.– Have a folder to hold copies of checklists, based
on rubrics, easily accessible – don’t make your grading criteria a secret.
– Keep a folder of related extension activities for those students who finish early.
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: FOLDERS

MORE TIPS• Make sure students know that you
are grading their content first, they can add all the bells and whistles after the main content is included in the project.
• If it is a new activity, give a whole-group demonstration. Typed instruction may also be given.
• Grouping – follow what works best for you.
