Managing the Device Rich Classroom

As educators, we understand the importance of upholding expectations for classroom management. Through the reflection of particularly rough days, we strategize and calculate the changes we will make to ensure things will go better “next time”. Recently, we have been exploring how this process is just as important to the digital aspects of your classroom as it is the analog and wanted to share three of our favorite resources with you.


Last night, we had the privilege of hearing from our district’s secondary teacher of the year, Mel Mollick. Mel, shared some of her tried and true classroom management strategies, specifically focusing on those related to a 1:1 learner to device environment. Click here to access Mel's slide deck.


A second resource we would love for every educator to experience is Classroom Management in the Digital Age, Effective Practices for Technology Rich Learning Spaces by Heather Dowd and Patrick Green. Classroom Management in the Digital Age guides and supports established and transitioning device-rich classrooms, providing practical strategy to novice and expert educators K-12. You’ll learn how to…

• Increase attention and decrease distraction
• Cultivate a culture of student ownership and responsibility
• Communicate with parents to establish consistent school-to-home behaviors
• Maximize the power of today’s technology even if you’re not an expert”

Twenty of our educators will have the opportunity to collaborate on the ideas in this book through a collaborative book study lead by Trisha Goins.
