BASIC PHILOSOPHY: A back channel is the conversation
that is going on while a lecture, video , presentation or
other work is going on. This is almost ALWAYS happening
anyways, the key is to get students using it productively.

1. Setting the tone.
Classroom Management
BEST PRACTICES IN
Emphasize the classroom as a learning environment all decisions
including when to use (or not to use) technology should be seen and
explained through that lens.
Cultivate an environment where students are held accountable for
their actions.
Model appropriate conduct teachers need to do a better job
managing their own use of technology.

2. Clear and consistent rules, procedures
and consequences.
Classroom Management
BEST PRACTICES IN
Spend class time discussing and/or developing rules and procedures.
Keep them as brief and simple as possible.
Procedures can included structured timing, daily responsibilities, and
expectations for behavior while input or discussion is happening.
They should be posted in the classroom and made available to
parents, online or otherwise.
Common Sense
School Rules For Devices
In the Classroom
Laptops, including tablets, are permitted in classrooms for basic educational purposes. Other
devices, such as Blackberries, iPods and other smart phones may be permitted for specific
activities.
Devices must be used in the classroom ONLY for specific, educational purposes as specified
by the teacher.
Personal communications (Facebook, email, chat) or digital entertainment (such as games or
movies) are NEVER permitted inside the classroom, unless for specific educational activities
authorized by the teacher.
Teachers should develop routines and procedures defining when and how computers should
be used in their classroom. It is the responsibility of the teacher to clearly establish and
communicate these expectations.
Computers should be treated as basic educational tools. Access should not be denied as a
punishment, nor granted as a reward.

Mr.Peters
Classroom Rules for
Electronics

In our classroom:
Laptops or tablets, are encouraged. Smartphones may be used at designated times to
update homework or To-Do lists.
You must enter this classroom with all devices off, and leave the classroom with all devices
off.
No games, entertainment, or personal communications in the classroom. EVER.
No taking pictures or video of others without their permission.
You are accountable for your words and conduct both in class, and online.
Computer problems are NEVER an excuse for late or missing work. Save often. Leave yourself
extra time. PROBLEM SOLVE.

1. TPACK Framework
2. Backwards Design
3. Constructivist Principles
Instructional Design
BEST PRACTICES IN
TPACK is a way of looking at technology-
infused lesson design to ensure you have
covered all the bases.

BASIC PHILOSOPHY: Make sure you think about these
three basic areas: Content knowledge (Does the lesson or
activity require the student to learn & demonstrate the
right content?) Technological knowledge (What
technological skills are required to complete the task are
they appropriate? Are you teaching assessing them?)
Pedagogical knowledge (Is it a rich, student-centered
task? Does it require higher order thinking?)

1. Backwards Design

Backwards design is an instructional design
method invented by Wiggins and McTighe and is part of
their larger Understanding by Design framework.

BASIC PHILOSOPHY: Design with your goals in mind and work backwards to
provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful.

Instructional Design
BEST PRACTICES IN
1. Backwards Design Principles & Technology

Choose and use technology purposefully to address the
goals you want to achieve.
You can set content-driven goals (ie. their knowledge of the
subject) and also skill-driven goals (ie. the ability to use
computers to collaborate ITSE framework!)
Remember to think about the necessary computer skills
students will need to be successful dont assume.

2. Constructivist Principles

Constructivism was popularized by the writings of
Jean Piaget. Learning is viewed as a active process.

BASIC PHILOSOPHY: Emphasizes the learner as a unique individual.
You dont teach the students, as such, they must construct their
own knowledge. Teachers are cast in the role of facilitators or
guides.

Credit where credit is due
Kim Cofino (http://kimcofino.com) is an international educator and
technology facilitator (presently based in Japan). Her writing on
blending backwards design principles with technology integration was a
major source of inspiration for this presentation.

Steve Katz (http://www.teachwithvideo.com) is an author, technology
facilitator, and former international educator who has prepared several
presentations on classroom management in 1:1 and other device heavy
environments. The great Oxygen analogy and many of the practical
management tips come from one of his presentations.
