@MsMac321 A5: Absolutely! Ss sometimes shut off their ears when a computer screen is open. Make Ss turn computers around or partially close computers when giving directions or having Ss discuss something.
@MsMac321 A4 Be explicit with how Ss are supposed behave with tech. Teach routines and interact with them virtually so they know you are paying attention. We also have DyKnow so we can see what students are looking at on their computers.
@MsMac321 Q2: There are so many good tools/technologies out there. Start with what you want students to learn first and then see what tech fits best. #edu255chat
As an instructional coach, part of your job is being a membrane between your teacher and demands from the district so that only the most salient concerns get to them.
