Classroom Innovation

American schools arent exactly frozen in time, but considering the pace of change in other areas of life, our public schools tend to feel like throwbacks. Kids spend much of the day as their great-grandparents once did: sitting in rows, listening to teachers lecture, scribbling notes by hand, reading from textbooks that are out of date by the time they are printed.

I would like to know more about this classroom and how this teacher set it up to run so smoothly.

Thanks for your interest! It is a 2nd grade classroom, and trust me, the first time we had technology centers it did not run this smoothly! It is crucial to practice, practice, practice how the kids have to behave while in centers and they will eventually behave this well! These are GREAT kids! They love the technology centers, it really grasps their attention spans for long periods of time. They always look forward to technology centers. Let me know if you have any more questions.
