for those who finish early

by Susienews

Feb 22, 2017

Hi there, I've taught Tech for many years. My lesson plans included 4 or 5 activities a day. I would move the activities down as the students finished them, and then add a new activity to the top. The class starter was always a typing keyboard warmup. My students loved Classic Tales Typing....especially the ones that were numbered in the 20 - 30 as...See More

Students who finish early

by bgmx

Nov 30, 2016

I'm trying to help a co-worker who is having a challenge, but I've never taught computers, so I'm unsure how to help. I teach elementary school. She teaches middle school and also 11th and 12th grade, and several of her students consistently finish early. She's a first year teacher and doesn't know what to have the students do when they finish an a...See More

Mitch I'm not big on "busy work". I don't want my students coloring, doing cross-word puzzles/word searches, or drawing. My first "go to" is to have the student become a class helper. IF another student is having issues with a part of the assignment, they can call on their classmate who is "done" before asking me for help. O...See More

chromebooks v. PCs

by Michael O

Nov 10, 2016

My K-5 school has an aging computer lab. We have been integrating chromebooks throughout the school, and have a modest supply at each grade level (not one-to-one). My principal is trying to decide whether to buy new PCs for the lab, or simply purchase more chromebooks. Should we go Google monoculture, or maintain some computing diversity?

How to Manage Time in Class

by Tim

Sep 22, 2016

Take it from a seasoned veteran. I've been teaching in computer labs for almost 35 years. The easiest thing to do is lose track of time. Therefore, back in the early 90's I came up with an idea to write a computer clock program specifically to help me manage time. I've made 3 major revisions to it over the years and now have it filled with options ...See More

Aug 15, 2016

Hi guys, in my classroom, I want to give each student a computer tablet so that after I finish my lecture, if I send out a link for 20 questions to 30 students, those students need to complete the questions and send their feedback to me digitally.

Since I have a little experience with HTML, I was planning to create this in an intranet clos...See More

Jan 11, 2014

I'm teaching beginner Java but I don't know the program (learning as I teach). Does anyone have any lesson plans they'd be willing to share? Or maybe a resource that helped you? Thank you in advance.

I posted this on the main chatboard but got no responses for it. Seeing as I am very desperate for help, I thought I would cross post it on other tech boards. I apologize if you are seeing this post multiple times but I am crossing my fingers for HELP.

msteach86 Hi. Thank you for your response. I am embarrassed to say that I do not know what a GAFE school is, but I do know that we had a teacher last year who used google cr, but he is no longer teaching at our school. So I'm "inferring" that we are this type of school.

Evan Ask your school if they have signed up to use Google apps for education. (It's free). If so, post and I can tell you how to set up a classroom.You can also find many tutorials.
