rough draft, final draft) to keep students on task▫Give points/grade for productive lab time▫Define and communicate inappropriate use, and

enforce loss of computer privileges as a consequence

•Managing the Move▫Group rotation- small groups rotate

together and move from one activity center to another

▫Independent rotation- groups rotate but not in an established pattern

Managing Student Activities

•Assisting with Technical Problems•Keeping Students on Task

Managing the Resources

•Student Storage Device•Software and CD-ROMS•Printing Supplies•File Management (folders)•Computer care (ex. No food, use screen
