    classroom

    A sucessful 1:1 class is more than just getting students on to their laptops.  It's also more than just tranfering text and worksheets to the computer.  A good 1:1 classroom (like all good classrooms) has H.E.A.T.!

    H = Higher Order Thinking Skills

    E = Engagement

    A = Authentic Questions

    T = Technology used appropriately

    • The following video clip shows THREE different 1:1 classrooms.  They are examples of some of what the coaches see on a daily basis.  How are these classrooms different?  How are they the same?  Which one has H.E.A.T.?

    • Some questions to ask when viewing the videos:

      • What technology is being used?
      • How is the technology being used?
      • What is the main focus of students' attention?
      • What does the body language of the students tell us?
    • Which classroom brought the H.E.A.T.?  You can use this link to vote and see the results.
