Engage your students by creating QR codes for them to scan! On their Chromebooks they have a "QR Reader". You could create QR codes for directions for activities, a scavenger hunt for research development, or even voice recordings of explanations or questions. Great for stations! Students can also create their own codes that link to presentations, or reports, or messages.

QR Codes

A QR Code (it stands for "Quick Response") is a mobile phone readable bar code that can store website URL's, plain text, phone numbers, email addresses and pretty much any other alphanumeric data.

The QR Stuff QR Code Generator allows you to create either dynamic or static QR codes and download them for immediate use

Storing up to 4296 characters they are internationally standardised under ISO 18004, so a QR code is a QR code all over the world - they've been big in Japan forever, broke into Europe and the UK a few years back, and are now popular in North America.

Think "print-based hypertext links" and you'll get the idea.

Classroom management is something that defines professionalism in the classroom as teachers work tirelessly to meet and address student learning needs and goals. It is an art that is learned, refined, and reinvented over and over throughout a teacher's career as new technology and teaching methods are implemented within the classroom.

Enter the most recent form of technology to come into classrooms the Chromebook. A new challenge now awaits as teachers are engaging students with technology, but may struggle with aspects of classroom management surrounding them. To keep it short and to the point one of the new challenges that I hear all the time from teachers is "How do I know if they are doing what they are supposed to be doing?" Many times I am also asked if we can get one of those monitoring services that would be an expensive cost to our 1:1 program.

My response to these questions and concerns comes from meeting these challenges within my own classroom, and getting to observe other teachers implementing similar strategies. In short we can save a lot of money, time, and get better instruction by using a few simple strategies that I use all the time in my class and with teachers that I work with. Here are the top 5 things that we recommend to make classroom management easier with better learning outcomes in our 1-1 Chromebook environment.

One of the biggest things that a teacher can do to alleviate some of the management aspects of the Chromebooks is to change what the physical space of the room looks like. Not all teachers have the luxury of changing the room because of space limitations, furniture that doesn't mesh well with technology, or too many students to accommodate seating within the room. One of the ways to free up your room and get a better management outcome is to move the furniture completely out of the way. Teachers who utilize this strategy find that they have more flexibility in activities within the room, lower behavior issues, more on task behavior, and better proximity to students. This setup also allows the teacher to teach from anywhere within the room by simply purchasing a very inexpensive wireless presenter mouse. Simply push the desks, chairs and anything else to the outside walls of the room. The picture shown gives a glimpse into one way that this can be done.

One of the ways to keep students on task and reduce behavior is to let them know when, and how, the technology is going to be used in the classroom. One way to quickly and easily set this expectation is with a stoplight sign on the outside of the room with a clip. Red indicates to students that they will not be using technology in the class today. (AND THAT"S OK) Yellow indicates that they will be using the technology, but that it should remain closed to start the class because the teacher will be giving instruction. Green lets students know that it is time to take the technology out to start the class along with any other class routines that you may be using. Teachers that utilize this find that they are not fighting the common question " When are we going to use the....", or are not battling students about inappropriately trying to sneak the technology when they should be engaged in the lesson. When students know when, and how, the tech will be used they are less likely to be off task. This is an easy task to assign a student to help you with at the beginning of the day or hour of a class.

A great way to gather some formative assessment data and to keep students on task is the" what I did today email". This works especially well with Chromebooks as students can "print" their browsing history to a PDF and then include that in an email to their parents or guardians and the teacher. At the end of the hour have students respond with a short "elevator" summary of what they learned in class that day. This is a great technique as it gets students to reflect on their learning, practices summarizing skills, and increases accountability to be on task during self-directed learning times within the class. As a parent myself it also saves from this conversation

ME: What did you do in class today?

Daughter: Nothing

ME: What do you mean nothing? I am sure that there was lots that you learned.

Daughter: I can't remember

Parents will be grateful to be part of the learning process, and to be able to see the growth of their child over time. This technique can also be use with student blogging as well if parents are connected to the blog.

Greater conversations can ensue when students have little to say about what they learned in class that day, or their browsing history has large gaps within it as it is reviewed by both teachers and parents. This allows for more in depth conversations around the learning that took place and gives a great way to gather formative evidence. In addition teachers can give parents the gift of insight into what their student is learning without looking at just a grade in an information system or report card. Finally, it will take almost no additional effort on the teachers part to implement.

This is really a simple strategy that allows for a lot of management aspects within the classroom. When giving instructions, or doing some direct instruction this is a great strategy to get students off the keyboard and focused on what the teacher is saying. In addition it also allows for the ability to do a quick check to see if students are on task, on appropriate sites, or need additional help with the lesson. If teachers are using this strategy they really need to be firm and consistent that if students continue working, or are not on task, that it leads to a "technology timeout". Teachers who are consistent in this find that it leads to a great way to have a flexible learning environment with the ability to meet a students needs no matter where they are standing in the room.

Both students, and adults, are consistently called by the siren of technology if it is near. If it is within arms reach and you can see it the the likelihood of wanting to do something with it and be distracted by it is pretty high. Everyone thinks that they can multitask, but more often than not it goes in one ear and out the other. The best way to get students attention is to have them put their lids at 45 degrees-something we model and teach- or have them close their lids completely. The great thing about Chromebooks is that they restart really quickly. The best way to make sure that your instructions have been heard is to eliminate the call of the technology siren so that they are not distracted by what they are doing, or their neighbor. This goes for adults too.

As with any management ideas within a classroom you need to make them your own and adapt to your students. However, with a few small changes it can make a world of difference for both you and your students in a technology rich environment.

Teaching is about inspiring, creating geniuses, reaching goals and engaging students to go higher. There are so many amazing apps for Chromebooks in the universe of the internet that help you to achieve this.

Almost too many.

We don't know all the apps for education, and don't know their powers either. We're afraid of trying something new and we're definitely afraid that it won't work.

That's why I'm here. To make a good selection of the lesser known Chromebook apps. Learning apps that will have you swept off your feet!

Educational apps that rock your Chromebook

Wunderlist is an (education) app for teachers (and other people) around the world that helps you capture ideas, things to do and places to see. It can help you to stay up to date with your grocery list or it helps you to organize your administration. At home or in school.

You can share files with your fellow teachers, and assign tasks. It gives you a better overview of your work and probably helps you to not procrastinate!

Wunderlist automatically syncs between your phone, tablet and computer. This means you can access your lists from anywhere.

Lucidchart is a web based program which allows you to create plenty different diagrams like flow charts, mind maps, wire frames and much more. Get started with a number of templates.

Why is it so good? Well, students can work together on these charts without sending new versions by email over and over again. Collaborate with others and work on diagrams together in real time.

Lucidchart provides free educational licenses that include all premium features to schools and universities.

Video. HOT HOT HOT 🔥🔥🔥! So why not make your own animated videos to engage your students? Go Animate has made a school app version that makes it simple for teachers and students to make videos in the classroom!

Try the free trial to let your students fall in love with your self made videos.

So what's so "school" about the Go Animate for "Schools"? This version is dedicated to deliver a safe environment for the videos. Students' personally identifiable information is strictly protected. Inappropriate language and assets can be removed and teachers have the ability to moderate student videos and comments.

Go animate is very intuitive and easy to use. You can use it for flipped classrooms, lesson introductions, presentations & reports, language training and to engage students with special needs.

Love at first sight! When I stumbled upon this app I was so exited to start using it. Clarisketch is an app that enables you to create animated sketches. Combine speech, drawing and photos to clarify your intentions or instructions.

How could you use it in your classroom? Well, there are a few possibilities:

Create flipped classroom videos.

Explain a complex process or illustrate a given topic.

Clarify what exactly students have to study or do for homework.

Give students feedback by talking. It's more clear to the students than some weird icons and non readable notes on the paper.

Remember the yellow post-its? They are still alive. Years ago, they got a computer version. Whenever you need to remember something, you just added a yellow note on your desktop. They are still a standard part of a Windows computer, although there are more suitable, better and renewed versions as well.

Google Keep lets you capture what's on your mind and share those thoughts with colleagues.

Make a voice memo on the go and have it automatically transcribed for later. You can also take a picture of a poster, receipt or document and easily organize it on your dashboard.

MindMup is another good educational app for students (and teachers). It's an open-source mind-mapping tool which links into your storage space on Google Drive. It's free, convenient, very intuitive and easy to use.

The best thing about this learning app is that students can work on it together in real time (just like Google Docs). The mindmap also allows you to add images, videos and other files.

Storybird is a powerful app that combines creative tools for writing, reading, and storytelling in educational settings. Students can make their own story. It makes students of all ages feel like "real authors" and bring their fantasy alive.

It's also an adaptable, creative tool to enhance lesson plans and assignments for any grade level or subject matter. History? Let your students write a history related story. Math? What about letting them create a story of a boy that encounters a problem in his life and how he solved it with math?

Another really good option of storybird is the ability to purchase digital or print books and poems made by your students (or yourself). Or even better: activate the optional fundraiser mode to involve families and raise money for your school.

One more thing that gets me all excited! The Chromebook app lets you assign, give feedback, grade, and monitor student activity using your educator dashboard.

myHomework is another school app and helps students to stay organized. myHomework is a digital student planner that lets students easily track their classes, homework, tests and projects so they are completely up to date and never forget an assignment again.

myHomework also integrates with Teachers.io, a website where teachers can share their class due dates, files, links and announcements.

If you use Teachers.io, with just a few clicks in myHomework students can join your class and automatically get your assignments and updates in their planner.

BookWidgets allows you to make interactive lessons. BookWidgets provides strong templates of all kinds of interactive excercises. You just have to add your own content.

Choose between more than 30 different widgets or "apps" to engage your students. Make your own adapted crossword riddles, jigsaw puzzles, web quests, quizzes, timelines and much more. Bonus: it does the grading for you.

BookWidgets is a good Chromebook app that can be used to engage students as well for differentiation, personalization and grading.

This is just so cool! With TES teach you can create digital lessons in a few minutes.

Engage your students by creating interactive lessons. TES Teach with Blendspace makes it easy to plan, build, and deliver a lesson by integrating content from YouTube, TES resources, your own files, and other digital media somewhere on the internet. Just drag and drop the material on the TES teach dashboard. You can even add links from BookWidgets so your students can get activated by interactive and fun widgets.

If you can't get enough of these apps, take a look at this Chrome app and extension database from "Shake up learning".
