MANAGING THE COMPUTER CENTER Test out the activity yourself (or ask an advanced student to try it) so you know how long the activity actually takes Introduce the activity to the whole class first Establish a signal for students to use to indicate that they need help Designate a “computer center helper” or two Use Task Cards Plan a related activity for “early finishers” Don’t assign more than 2 skill trees in Orchard
- 15. MANAGING THE COMPUTER CENTER Set up “classrooms” whenever possible – it will help you track student work. Use portaportal for individual websites Ask your TRT to: help you set up activities look them over for you Help students in the computer center Give you feedback and help you “fix” issues
