After the pandemic our district provided all our schools with devices to be 1:1 and provides hot spots for those who need it that parents can not provide in the home.  If 1:1 is not an option and before the pandemic we would share devices with another class so I would set lessons in rotations and only use devices in my room or take turns with my teammate to trade off class devices for whole group testing.

One strategy that I always use in my classroom is numbering my devices and assigning students to that device from the very first day of class. I also always make sure that I am visible in my classroom and that my students know that I am walking around. I establish device rules from the first day of class and make sure the students understand the importance of these rules. I always tell my students "If I went into your bedroom or house and broke your gaming station how would you feel", that's how I feel if you mistreat or misuse my devices. Also, always make sure you have a workaround or backup plan in case your technology doesn't work.

My district is thankfully one-to-one with devices and if you are as well, I recommend labeling all student devices with their name and grade level. Label device locker or whatever you use to lock and charge devices with their name as well. Students can quickly deposit their device and in seconds you know who hasn't return their device. I also print and tape their login credentials for Eduphoria so I do not have to login 20 students before completing an assessment.

Because our district has provided a 1:1 device policy, students do not have a need for phone use in the classroom.

Every teacher will train students to place the phone in the assigned pocket upon entering the classroom.  -C. Torres

Station rotation ensures equitable access. Also, any assignments that may be used for technology that need to be done outside of class can have a non-tech option to ensure that the student is still able to complete the work.

Although our district is 1:1 in k-12, the biggest challenge I faced was students not having headphones.  This created a challenge for me within the classroom. I did not deny the student access to the activity, but I had to move them to an area so that their audible device did not disturb or distract those students who did have headphones.

Connectivity was not a challenge within the school environment, however there were issues for some students who were not attending in-person. Often times it was simply because their home Wifi connection was not adequate or they could not connect. This created the need to shift the learning to more of a paper and pencil approach.

The charging station for the devices had each slot labeled with a number as well as each device had a umber.  This number correlated to the students' number within the classroom.  This made handing the devices out simple and quick.

The challenge is managing student time and attention to task when every student is on their device at the same time.  I am looking forward to implementing rotations as I think this will curtail students taking an online stroll to other online sites.

We are fortunate to have one to one ipads at our school. With that came the daunting task of keeping the online kids on task and keeping the in person kids from wandering off to other websites. I used the Classroom app, it is free and let's you monitor the in person student's screens. You add them through bluetooth, and can click on their name/ipad # and see exactly what they see on their screen. If they are working on Formative or Seesaw, you can see what they are writing and guide/redirect them if needed. Best part-if they are on say Youtube watching Tiktoks, you can pause their screen and have a quick chat on being responsible digital students.

Create your plan for technology before school starts.  Introduce it from day 1 and make sure to have a back up in case it fails, power/wifi is out, etc. (because it likely will).
Just like anything else in our classrooms, the better your plan, the smoother it will go.
My class has a class set of chrome books that are numbered.  I number desks/table areas and assign seats for each class (for whole lesson instruction)  Those seats correspond with the number for getting a chrome book.
I also establish norms & have it posted on an anchor chart.
I also have a student from each class stand next to the cart as students are dismissed to turn them in to make sure they are plugged in/returned correctly.

We took the time to label each Chromebook by numbers.  The cords were also labeled and the slots in the Chromebook cart were labeled.  Each student was assigned a number.  It was easy to see if the  correct Chromebook was returned in the correct slot and if there was one missing.  Also use a Chromebook cart manager to check at the end of the time period they were used.

Many districts were able to go 1:1 during the pandemic but before then have a rotation schedule that enables all students access equally.  We had a grade level Chromebook cart that rotated throughout the week.  Sometimes instead of the entire cart going to one room the Chromebooks were distributed equally by classes and students could rotate throughout the day.

Before introducing technology into our Professional Developments I wish I knew that even as adults, not everyone has the same drive to keep the Chromebook cart neat and organized. We quickly learned to number the slots, number the charging cords, and number the devices.

I think because some teachers are limited to devices, that needs to be mindful when planning. Maybe a station rotation could be used where not all activities need a device, or have one device for a few students and have them work together.

I have an iPad hub that is numbered. I would have students write down the number of the ipad they were going to use, the date, and times. I would also have them charge the Ipads when done using them.

I wish I knew more apps that are English Language related or apps that could help in other areas, such as classroom management.

I wish I knew that students hacked into various apps to find ways to cheat the system. I also wish I could see what was on their computer to see what they are working on. I know my district is finding a way to do this, but I wish I had this sooner.

We are blessed with one to one in most classrooms. In the classrooms that we don't we have a few computer labs. There is a signup sheet for the day and time you want to use it.

I wish I had know to be prepared with a back up plan. I do know that know, but didn't think about when I first started using technology. The internet can go down. They website can be down. Google Classroom can go down.

We are blessed to have a chrome book for each student. I feel like the biggest issue was them not charging them when they put them back when using them in a different class. I have a shared classroom. I think once I gave them my expectations this no longer happened.

Being a 1:1 campus ensures that each scholar has an accessible entry point to blended learning however making sure each of my scholars understands the adaptive learning pieces and are setting attainable goals ensures equitable access.
