Module 8 - Managing Learning and Teaching with ICT

Activity 1 - Classroom Management

Having gone through this activity, it was reinforced that when students are meaningfully engaged, the classroom is well managed.  For the classroom to be effective and run smoothly there needs to be rules, routines, trust and student ownership. Teachers should

•             Make rules clear and discuss with students why they are necessary.
•             Know their students’ names, learning styles, interests
•             Have a variety of ways of communication
•             With students design a safe, friendly classroom environment
•             Use Socratic questioning and authentic assessment. 

The same principles apply when managing the classroom which is ICT integrated.
