Microsoft Office
Using Office Is A Breeze...
Most of us are familiar with at
least the name, Microsoft.
But, do you know the potential
that Microsoft Office has to
offer? Office is a program
that provides various computing
skills that are used in many
different capacities.
Individuals, schools and
corporate businesses have
integrated Microsoft Office into
their everyday schedules.
Probably the greatest benefit
that Office has to offer is that
the construct of the different
Microsoft Office programs are
similar, if not almost
identical. Office provides
creative opportunities in the
classroom. Throughout this
website there will be many
resources listed to help you in
your efforts to integrate
interactive assignments /
projects in your classroom.
Classroom Management
A
key proponent to the development
of a well planned lesson is
classroom management.
Before you start to develop your
lesson you need to answer a few
questions pertaining to
classroom management and
technology:
-
-
What is the
usage of technology in your
classroom?
-
What is your
plan to manage/monitor
students on computers?
-
What rules
need to be implemented?
-
What do you
do if a student doesn't have
a computer?
-
What do you
do if a student is using
his/her computer
inappropriately?
It is important that before you
start with your lessons you at
least have a plan of action to
help navigate your teaching
through difficult or unwarranted
situations. The primary
goal of classroom management is
to be consistent or routine.
By developing a routine, your
students start to mimic good
habits. From a teachers
perspective, this is very
important so that their students
are not left to wonder what
comes next. Lastly, rules
that govern laptops and rules
that govern laptops within
classrooms must remain fairly
consistent from teacher to
teacher if you want your
students to develop good
internet / laptop habits. |
