-For junior students, yes, for senior students less likely... might be completing learning outcomes over a number of lessons

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, very often. Usually verbal instruction to do so

# data[].attributes.body
- communication
- routines
- a place conducive to learning

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and I use it as a way to remember the students who are doing well academically. I also use it for classroom management , and catch positive behaviour

# data[].attributes.body
-Yes, the teacher sets the standard for the class
-Students also must take some responsibility

# data[].attributes.body
Told what to take out - books, devices, homework
Do now activities projected on screen to complete in silence
Some count down on fingers to get silence
Stand at the door to welcome them in

# data[].attributes.body
In MFL - lots of pair work speaking the language (interviews)
In Irish / English - presentations in OneNote folders - discussion in pairs / small groups
Brainstorming with pairs / groups. Experimental work lends itself to working in a group.

With their seated partner
Group work tables

# data[].attributes.body
* Try to have each class group using devices once or twice a week
* Very useful at the end of a topic, to summarise and revise
* Research for some practical subjects etc
* Language classes, language games etc

# data[].attributes.body
- no, not really.
- not sure how seniors feel about them
- sometimes the 'bolder' students end up getting more of them, as expectations might be lower ... vice versa with more 'well behaved' students
- hard to find the balance about 'who deserves them'

# data[].attributes.body
- Yes, relies on teacher being organised and efficient with time use
- Class contracts can help

# data[].attributes.body
Find it more of an incentive for Junior Cycle students
When used, it has been very well received by the student
Not always easy to let them know, depending on your method of giving them

# data[].attributes.body
Yes but I miss the the paper commendations. Parents seem unaware . Could teachers write something short in journal eg: "Comm" plus teachers initial when they give a commendation on VS ware. Important to keep giving them to seniors.

# data[].attributes.body
More likely with the online system, but still less than with juniors

# data[].attributes.body
-Test results
-Impressive contributions in class
-Impressive actions... effort to help etc

# data[].attributes.body
Yes - online has facilitated giving more commendations.
However, they have lost some meaning - teachers forgetting to even tell students that they have given them a commendation. Students not sure why they received the commendation if teacher doesn't add further comment.
Great to see other teachers commendations, gives a better sense of the student.

# data[].attributes.body
* Some of us are, some of us less so
* They are mentioned at the start of class, but not always explicitly

# data[].attributes.body
- Not often, but more likely to now that you can give them online
-Previous impression was that senior students don't place an importance on them

# data[].attributes.body
- trying to give more, but often forget
- not a part of my classroom routine yet

# data[].attributes.body
No change
OneNote still key in classroom management routines

# data[].attributes.body
Group I
Yes. Very often. Its a great way for them to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes for Junior Cycle. Highlight key action verbs.

# data[].attributes.body
* Ideally but not always!
* Often done verbally and informally, saying what will be covered today or what is expected of students

# data[].attributes.body
- Yes, with our own teaching ... less handouts, materials to do further learning

# data[].attributes.body
Yes slightly

# data[].attributes.body
More likely to use electronic system for commendations for senior cycle students
Impression is that commendations means less for senior cycle students
Less commendations given for senior cycle students

# data[].attributes.body
- Keeping students focused on the task at hand
- With hand tools, if you say tools down etc they listen and put them down... safety in the practical classroom
- Active listening, if they are distracted/ talking, they aren't learning
- Listen to each other, not only teacher- asking questions etc.
-Routine, they know the layout/ schedule of the class... teacher being organised.

# data[].attributes.body
Movement from physical textbook to ebook.
Part of the routine of not taking the devices out until asked

# data[].attributes.body
Works very well for junior cycle . Gives them focus. Some use them verbally, some write on the board, some use at the start of powerpoint. Keep them brief.

# data[].attributes.body
Table I
Not much. But we would like to.

# data[].attributes.body
- Yes, in some shape or form
- When doing discovery learning it can change a bit to build anticipation, but it might not be as explicit

# data[].attributes.body
* Use a bell, giving an instruction
* Instructions regarding devices if needed
* Log in and load devices if required later in the lesson
* Explain what is happening today, expectations of the class
* Roll call settles the class
* Take roll, address last night's homework, move on with new content

# data[].attributes.body
Mainly agreement that commendations have been given less
Mainly given to 1st / 2nd year
Written commendations take to long
Disparity between what teachers give commendations for
Behaviour / enthusiasm / work ethic
Surely being 'courteous' is already expected?

# data[].attributes.body
Extension exercises are on OneNote so they can only use devices if they have already completed the other material in class
Constantly have to move around the room to check screens - in some classes they have to turn to face screen to teacher
Very clear that devices are used for specific purposes and putting them away as soon as completed

# data[].attributes.body
- routines help a lot
- ground rules are needed
- with a willingness to adapt
- seating plans needed for more difficult classes

# data[].attributes.body
Table I
Yes. For Good homework, for excellent involvement. Good homework and helpfulness. Its good for those kids that dont fit into an academic slot. The new system encourages us to use it more.

# data[].attributes.body
Students know what to do when they arrive, for practical class they get their materials, for others teachers will do a roll call, or for SPHE teacher might play meditation music for two minutes so the start of the class is calm. This is not possible for every class

# data[].attributes.body
Everything is saved in OneNote
Made life easier
Again if someone is absent, they have access to what happened in class.
Have evidence of what was taught in class - explain to students / parents

# data[].attributes.body
- Routine itself has not really changed; you ask to take out devices instead of books/ refill pad
-However, teacher is sitting more than standing- using Surface Pro instead of whiteboard
-Less printed sheets, can distribute worksheets on OneNote
-More likely to set research tasks as you always have devices at your disposal

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers use all the time  ('could not live without OneNote')
Used for presenting (90-100% of the time)
Homework OneNote - very useful for students who are not present in class

# data[].attributes.body
- Keeping the students busy and on task
- Mutual respect
- Setting routines and expectations at the beginning of the year/lesson

# data[].attributes.body
* Class contract
* Students know what to expect within your class, and equally what is expected of them
* Each teacher and class will vary
* Very important for practical classes, demonstrations and experiments etc.
* Students waiting outside the class etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Adjusted

# data[].attributes.body
If Raquel has created the Powerpoint, then yes!
Usually but not always on the board
Can be challenging to find time for it if in the midst of three or four classes in a row or if moving between classrooms

# data[].attributes.body
- Not a lot in English classroom, but a lot for work at home, homework, notes....
- used more with TY
- Depends a lot on the topic
- for extension questions
- their stylus/typing isn't good enough for them to use their devices for note taking

# data[].attributes.body
Science / Geography - rarely, ebooks and research mostly
Maths - links, forms tests, use to share solutions
SPHE / Careers - no
English - rarely, TYs more and more, marking schemes for seniors

# data[].attributes.body
The device is an extra tool, but you cant rely fully on it. But there are issues like wifi ,lack of charging, students forgetting, etc

# data[].attributes.body
English - rarely - 2nd and TYs most
Science - yes, quite a lot, depending on the year group - workbooks online and research projects
Students getting distracted would deter some
Business - not really
Spanish - depends on the class group. Not much with 1st Years, more with 2nd and TYs

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and No - depending on the topic / group

# data[].attributes.body
- We, as the teachers, use the devices - OneNote is the whiteboard
- Use it more for Junior students than Senior students
- Only when it's appropriate
- Folens Hive

# data[].attributes.body
- Begin with five minute meditation (e.g. headspace)
-Go through learning outcomes
- Write on a post-it what they recall from the last class
-Play a recap game/quiz at the start of class on the last lesson

# data[].attributes.body
Yes - in varying formats (on board, powerpoint, verbally)
Provides structure, and allows for both student and teacher to keep track of learning.
Revision and reflection

# data[].attributes.body
* Teacher sets the standard
* Students should aware of what is expected of them
* Encourage students to take responsibility for their own actions
* Teacher must be seen to deal with classroom issues themselves, rather than constantly passing on to year head etc.
* VS ware records are very helpful

# data[].attributes.body
Table I
'Absolutely'. Reflect on previous lesson. Quick intro to today's class.

# data[].attributes.body

- Homework on the board to start class
- JC different to LC
- short task to begin the class with JC
- going within 5 minutes of class bell

Everyone does Think - Pair - Share
Given a minute to look, cover it and then share
They have a talking partner so are consistently working in pairs and feeding back

"Flexible Routines" ...Every teacher has different set of routines...therefore students learn how to be flexible and adapt to different teachers... Depends on the class whether its a practical class etc..health and safety etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Students come into class
Take a roll while students are doing an activity or take a roll / get out homework / check homework / physically hand up work (6th years)

# data[].attributes.body
- Yes, but they don't respond well
- Even now on VSware, they respnd better to verbal feedback

- yes
- routines not so much
- my personal routine has changed with my (teaching) device, but so much with the class
- changes with how homework is given
- used a lot of project work - - PE 50% project work

# data[].attributes.body
Sit and take the roll.
Check homework - open on desk, gives them a task, teacher can walk around.
Collect books from the back of the room, or take out books from bags.
This all gives time to settle, routine facilitates this, consistency.
Using a slide on the board with instructions can speed this process!

# data[].attributes.body
-It depends on the year, Junior students seem to find it more beneficial, while Senior students don't like it very much. Older students, and of a higher set, can find it frustrating as they just want the notes.
-Giving roles in a group can also aid pair work... recorder, time manger etc.
-Think Pair Share is more effective than solely using pair work as it allows the students to also think individually.
-Time management- it can take up too much class time when under pressure to get a topic completed.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes - each teacher has there own style depending on their particular subject but having established routines is key too
