Take-Home Tips

#FYConference#SyncTheShip

#FYConference#SyncTheShip

• Pace yourself! Technology in your classroom isn’t all-or-nothing

• Talk with your students to understand their perspective

• Allocate time in class for the tech - troubleshooting, time in and out of activities, peer-to-peer sharing

• Don’t give up: “Familiar” tech is a fallback when students get stressed, busy, or when assignments are high stakes
