Elementary Device Support
Setting Your Classroom Up for Success with Technology
Things to consider before handing out devices:
How will you make clear to students what they are allowed to use and when?
How are you holding students accountable for what they are doing with their device?
What will happen if students aren't following expectations?
How will charging work in your classroom?
Will individual students plug in their device or will it be a classroom job?
How often will you have students charge their devices?
Depending on your cart style, consider color coding or numbering slots and charging cords for students to match up cords and devices easily
