Management Strategies Used in the K3CC Course


 * Scheduling**
 * Been There/ Done That chart w/ clothespins (or post-its) - move your clothespin when finished
 * Base Ten Blocks (popsicle sticks, other small objects) - take (or return) one when you're done
 * Labeled computers (numbers, colors, group names) - students are assigned to a particular computer
 * "I voted" stickers (or other stickers) - wear sticker (or stick on chart) when completed
 * Punch cards - one punch per child, per day, per week, per activity, etc...
 * Timers - complete as many/much as you can in X minutes; practice games
 * Storyboard/worksheet - keeps students focused on computer task


 * Grouping**
 * **Whole Group Lesson** - (first activity of the day) all students contribute to a teacher-led activity at the Smartboard.
 * **Begin Together** - Activity is demonstrated/started whole-group, then students repeat/complete on their own at the computer center.
 * **Computer Stations** - each student rotates to each computer to complete a task.
 * **Paired Activity** - students work in pairs to complete a task at one computer. No touching the mouse when the other student is working!
 * **Small Group/Collaboration** - each student adds to the project, working in teams to complete (numbers, colors, team names)
 * **Individual** - each student completes the activity in turn on his/her own


 * Assistance**
 * Peer experts
 * Help/Okay cards
 * No touching the mouse
 * Audio/written task instructions
