Students not understanding how to navigate the computer or basic programs

Students not understanding how to navigate the computer or basic programs

1. Breaking into groups during class of students who need help with computers and those who don't, and giving extra instruction to those who need it

2. Meeting with students who need extra help after school for one-on-one assistance

3. Directing them to resources that will help them learn more about computers, such as educationworld.com

4. Students not wanting to participate in normal class discussion

   • Using a competitive resource that utilizes technology, such as Kahoot, to generate excitement for tech and class discussion
   • Have students write their thoughts on a topic on paper or with a tech tool like Padlet
   • Students who are used to using technology for everything may be bored at the idea of writing their thoughts out by hand
     • Using an "in-between" program could help bridge this gap, such as "Book Writer"
     • We could also allow them to type their answer on a computer program like Microsoft Word instead of on paper
