Managing students involves:
Planning Procedures Routines
National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) and Performance Indicators for Teachers
Teachers need to plan how they want their students to proceed in the computer classroom. Procedures must be developed so that students know exactly what to do and how to proceed from the beginning to end of each lesson. These procedures must become routine so that there is no confusion in the computer class.
“The number - one problem in the classroom is not discipline – it is the lack of procedures and routines” (Wong). Teachers must EXPLAIN, RE-HEARSE, and REINFORCE classroom procedures.
Students need classroom procedures so that they always know to do and what to expect. The teacher must explain the procedures over and over again until they are clear. Next these must be rehearsed with the students. Finally, the teacher must reinforce them by supportive and encouraging words.
Student Management
National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) and Performance Indicators for Teachers
Time is a very important factor in classroom management. The lesson begins with a certain procedure and ends with another.Students must know that there is a time limit. They must know how to manage their time.
“There should not be any wasted time, confusion or disruption” (Wong)
