a. I Want Candy!
“Anyone who uses the phrase 'easy as taking candy from a baby' has never tried taking candy from a baby.”
“Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate.” - Sandra Boynton
"I feel like a human pinata. The disappointing thing is, no candy is going to spill out." - Katie Couric
Karen has two bags of candy that she bought for $2.50 per bag. Each bag has 12 pieces of candy in it. How many more bags does she need to buy to give each of her 25 classmates one piece? How much will it cost altogether?
“Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.” - C.P. Snow, New York Times, 15 March 1971
“Technology presumes there's just one right way to do things and there never is. “ - Robert M. Pirsig

Technology-enriched Classroom Tips & Tricks
From Managing a Technology-Enriched Classroom
Allow for "experimentation" with fonts, types, colors before setting guidelines.
Model how to save assignments and provide guidance for naming.
Teach students how to use search engines.
Network computers.
Create a class website.
Review Acceptable Use Policy with students.
Do not allow students to "surf the net" during free time.
From Practical Solutions for Effectively Managing A Technology-Enriched Classroom
“Ask 3, Then Me” - When working with a small group, the teacher is “off limits” for any questions. Students must ask 3 students before asking the teacher for help.
Binders – After teaching a technology skill, the teacher creates a screen shot of the activity with written directions and places them in a binder next to each work station. If students have a “how-to” question, they refer to the binder for help.
Clipboards – For younger students, clipboards featuring a set of written directions for the current task are positioned at each workstation for the students to use as a reference while working.
Student Experts – Different students in the class are taught specific skills and become the “expert” to whom other students may go to with questions or a refresher course on how to do something.
Teach 2 – The teacher demonstrates a skill for two students. They are then responsible for teaching the next two, and the pattern continues.

The cup system...
Set of Solo cups in the following colors:
Green: Everything is going fine.
Yellow: I need help - come when you can.
Red: I am stuck - my computer is frozen - come now
When you want students’ attention say, “Standby mode in three, two, and one.” By that time they all have their laptop lid closed and looking at the teacher. To bring the computer back from stand by mode, the student will need to press Ctrl, Alt, and Delete and enter their password.
