http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/more/management/gainingattention.htm By Emily Jackman Age Range: 5 to 11 When working in a reception class during my final teaching practice I tried really hard to develop strategies for regaining the children's attention whilst on the carpet. The strategy that I found most useful was: Are you listening - this game is a little bit like simon says but I'd start by saying, "if you are listening put your hands on your lap" after about five instructions all the children would be joining in and focusing their attention towards myself. this methos does take a few moments to work but is effective when it does. Another useful tip that I used whilst teaching PE was to use a musical instrument e.g. a jingle bell to get the children to stop.

Student Laptops and Classroom Management | K12Converge.com

I wrote the following in response to a teacher at a school with a brand-new laptop program. They’re all getting started with laptops and the students, but it sounded like the professional development time was pretty slim in terms of preparing the teachers for how to manage the laptops in the classroom. We’re working on a more formal set of recommendations for our US teachers this year, but so far this is a draft of ten ideas for classroom management in a laptop environment. Many of these ideas were gleaned from the first year of our MS laptop program. 1) Start small, and then grow. Students want to use the laptops, and they aren’t going to “hate them” if their use in the classroom is infrequent at first.
