What difference does the sign-in mode make? • If students sign in as a guests, only the scores for the latest session are saved. • If students sign in individually, a document for each name will be kept in the main storage folder (Each different name, not each different student!) • If students sign in with a class, their records will be kept in the folder for that class.

  22. Using TAKS Workshop Effectively How learning in a lab can work for kids!

  23. Uses of Software • One computer classroom • Computer lab • Credit retrieval

  24. Remember! A computer program is a teaching tool. You are still the teacher and students need your interaction while in the lab.

  25. Accompany your students to the lab.

  26. Put your students in pairs. Many of the tested concepts are difficult for students at first and some may give up unless they can work with a partner. When the pair shows an 80% mastery level, separate them to show individual mastery.

  27. Bring Materials • Make sure students have a calculator and pencil and paper in the lab. Just because a problem is on the computer does not mean that it is mental math.

  28. Rewards • Play money • Candy • Balloons • Supplies • Cute erasers • Remember - these programs are not video games and students need some motivation.

  29. How long in the lab? • Do not take the student to the lab every day. • 45 minutes to an hour is long enough for any activity. • Vary with hands on classroom activities.

  30. What to cover for instruction? • Tie the lesson in the lab to the lesson in class. • Focus on the outcome. These TAKS items reflect what the student will be held accountable for - therefore the students should do in the computer lab the problems that will allow them to practice what they have just learned in the classroom lesson. • Eventually you can add review problems from previously learned lessons.
