Great Classroom Management Idea

While visiting classrooms this week I saw a great classroom management idea in Valerie Tuneta's room.  She has created a chart with each student's name on it.  Each student begins the day with two bathroom passes.  When a student needs to use the bathroom he/she takes a pass off the board under their name and give the pass to Valerie.  At the end of the day she replaces all of the passes for the next day.

Great idea Valerie!

Tech Tip

If you have students who like to travel between apps when you need them to stay on one app, there is a solution.  If you activate guided access on the iPads then students can only access the current app that you want them to work on.  When the students are finished with that app, then the guided access can be turned off.  The youtube video shows you how to activate guided access on students' iPads.
