collaboratively create a social contract, ask them to document their own attention during class, allow only a few (rotating) students per class session to take notes to be shared with the entire class.

Tips for Student Routines with Computers:
1) Teach students to use the same computer every time.
2) Give instructions BEFORE students get on the computers
3) If you need to give directions while students are at their computers, walk students through the steps at a quick pace
4) Focus on maintaining a calm demeanor
5) Make sure important websites and passwords are displayed and set up clear procedures for troubleshooting
6) Always have something for students to do when they finish early
7) Have an alternate activity planned in case something goes wrong with your lesson
8) Give meaningful, engaging assignments, preferably ones that allow students to work at their own pace
