III.D

 Teachers manage student learning activities in a technology-enhanced environment.

 

  Developing Approaching Meets Exceeds
Develop classroom management techniques Instructional activities rarely attempt to use classroom management techniques that facilitate appropriate active engagement with the technology resources to enhance learning. Instructional activities document one classroom management technique that facilitates appropriate active engagement with technology resources to enhance learning but do not document other processes and procedures that contribute to effective management. Instructional activities outline effective classroom management techniques that facilitate appropriate active engagement with the technology resources to enhance learning. Instructional activities flexibly use multiple classroom management techniques to facilitate active engagement with technology resources to enhance student learning.
Integrate technology use Instructional activities integrate technology either as only a teacher demonstration tool or as only a tool for student use. Instructional activities integrate technology as only a teacher demonstration tool, not as a tool for student use. Instructional activities integrate technology as both a teacher demonstration tool and a tool for student learning. Instructional activities integrate technology as both a teacher and student tool, allowing the students to take control of the management and responsibility of the technology.
Vary student grouping Instructional activities use only one student grouping strategy without regard to appropriateness. Instructional activities consistently group students in one way to use technology—such as at one computer demonstration station, only in small groups, or only in the lab setting. Instructional activities group students in a variety of ways appropriate to the learning context to interact with the technology such as the one computer, small group, and lab environment. Instructional activities group students in varying ways appropriate to the learning context. Teachers are able to change the groupings within the context of the experience to meet unanticipated needs of students.
