I\u2019ve tried to impart some of my learning from that experience in the following sections.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this post from a point of confusion or wonder, that\u2019s okay too.

If you\u2019re not familiar with the theme of \u201ctechnology is a tool, not a lesson plan\u201d this is a big lesson a lot of early teachers learn the hard way. Although I think we can all agree that Classtime can do some AMAZING things, just remember that your objectives drive how you use tech, not the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>2) Expert tech-limited teachers attempt to \u201c<strong>tie up any loose ends<\/strong>\u201d by critically thinking about their use of tech in the classroom. They try to be <strong>proactive problem-expecters instead of reactive problem-solvers<\/strong>. You\u2019ll see some examples of what I mean as we get into more specifics.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The First Step: Establishing Expectations and Procedures<\/strong><br \/>Once you\u2019ve got a few devices in hand (see the epilogue for more information on smartphones, specifically), you need to create expectations and procedures in your classroom for using Classtime with them:<br \/>&#8211; When should smartphones or small devices be used?<br \/>&#8211; How will your class put them away \/ take them out? What procedures are part of these scenarios? How will you cue students? (Don\u2019t forget to practice and remind them!)<br \/>&#8211; What do you do when students forget a device or their battery is dead?<br \/>&#8211; How will students share devices with their peers?<\/p>\n<p>My own basic digital expectations and procedures look something like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1247 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.48.10-PM.png\" alt=\"Limited Devices\" width=\"994\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.48.10-PM.png 994w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.48.10-PM-300x203.png 300w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.48.10-PM-768x519.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It could be tempting to go into extreme depth with rules, processes, &amp; regulations, <strong>but don\u2019t forget the most important part of a behavior management plan: a well-designed, engaging lesson.<\/strong> Students in my class often comment\/complain that \u201cwe\u2019re too busy to get distracted\u201d. Engaging and dynamic lessons can solve a lot of tech-related problems even before they start.<\/p>\n<p><em>A tip from Nate:<\/em> If you let students use their own devices they\u2019ve brought, check up on them periodically. It\u2019s easy for them to get distracted while its very difficult for you to monitor what their screen is on! Make sure you set clear expectations with your students and rotate around the room frequently.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>The Second Step: Play to Your Strengths &amp; Weaknesses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before you load up your first session or Collaborative Challenge from Classtime<strong>, get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the devices you have and design your lessons around them.<\/strong> It will make a remarkable difference in how much success you\u2019ll have and how much frustration you\u2019ll avoid.<\/p>\n<p>For instance:<br \/>&#8211; If you know that your limited number of devices are tougher to type on, such as iPads or smartphones, try to ask questions that don\u2019t require lots of input like multiple choice, multiple answer, and true\/false.<br \/>&#8211; Touchscreen devices are an excellent way to play with the more \u201ctangible\u201d question types on Classtime, such as reorder and hotspot.<br \/>&#8211; If your own device that you use to display Classtime doesn\u2019t have a lot of computer power or only gets a weak wi-fi signal, avoid more graphically intense elements such as picture-based questions or Collaborative Challenges. Don\u2019t forget that if you personally don\u2019t have a good in-class connection, Classtime sessions can be made in advance (when you\u2019ve got a stronger connection, let\u2019s say, at home), and students can complete them independently.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to come up with your own lists of strengths and weaknesses, imagine yourself and your students going through the effort of a Classtime session. What would work well? What might need to be changed? What problems might unexpectedly arise?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Grouping Strategies<\/strong><br \/>I\u2019ve put together a series of 5 limited-device grouping strategies that can be used with Classtime. <strong>Again, don\u2019t forget that grouping doesn\u2019t drive your instruction; let the grouping make your Classtime-based lesson possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Strategy 1: A Device Per Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1248\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.classtime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.51.06-PM-300x172.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.51.06-PM-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.51.06-PM-768x440.png 768w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.51.06-PM.png 964w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Purposes:<br \/>&#8211; All students participate in the same session.<br \/>&#8211; Differentiated groups participate in scaffolded sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Likely Activities:<br \/>&#8211; Warmups, Exit Tickets, Whole-Group Lessons, Group Projects, Escape Rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Recommendations:<br \/>&#8211; Differentiated groups can be done by student selected content, learning process, interest area, or readiness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strategy 2: A Device Per Rotating Group<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1249 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.53.44-PM.png\" alt=\"Limited Devices\" width=\"964\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.53.44-PM.png 964w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.53.44-PM-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.53.44-PM-768x462.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Purpose:<br \/>&#8211; Students rotate between activities and complete a Classtime <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/en\/assessment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">assessment<\/a> after each one.<\/p>\n<p>Likely Activities:<br \/>&#8211; Activity Stations, Problem Trails, Gallery Walks, Escape Rooms.<\/p>\n<p>Recommendations:<br \/>&#8211; Balance groups heterogeneously.<br \/>&#8211; Keep a timer running to keep groups moving along.<br \/>&#8211; Make sure that your stations aren\u2019t linear&#8211;students should be able to start &amp; end anywhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strategy 3: Clustered Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1250\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.classtime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.54.20-PM-300x180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.54.20-PM-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.54.20-PM-768x460.png 768w, https:\/\/www.classtime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-14-at-1.54.20-PM.png 918w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Purpose:<br \/>&#8211; Collect one particular group\u2019s assessment data.
