Steps to Implementing Personal Devices Successfully

1) Commit to learning new devices and apps, give up class time to teach to students

2) Explicitly teach key features of new apps or programs

3) Allow time for the students to investigate on their own

4) Reflect, discuss, share our own learning " tips/tricks"

5) Ask students " How would you use this for your learning?"







Creation of a Game Plan helps students stay organized.




Just like technology our game plan will change.
