Taking Out & Putting Away Devices: The classroom lacks an organized system for managing technology devices. There are no designated storage areas, resulting in tangled cords and misplaced devices. Students do not know which device to use, causing delays and disruptions during lessons.

Handling a Device (Device Care): Device care guidelines are posted visibly in the classroom. Teacher reinforces device care expectations before/during use. 

Handling a Device (Device Care): The classroom lacks clear guidelines for handling technology devices, resulting in mishandling and damage. Students are not trained on proper usage and maintenance, leading to frequent malfunctions and repairs. 

Independent Time: Technology expectations are posted for independent work time. Teacher uses proximity, check-ins, monitoring software (GoGuardian) and whole group reminders/reinforcement of expectations. 

Independent Time: Students lack the necessary skills to navigate digital tools and resources independently. Limited guidance on appropriate online research and productive use of technology hinders their ability to engage in meaningful and focused tasks.

Getting Attention: Teacher has one or more planned and practiced attention signals to focus students. Teacher also uses embedded technologies such as GoGuardian to manage student focus. 

Getting Attention: The classroom struggles to capture and maintain student attention. Weak classroom management techniques and lack of engaging instructional strategies contribute to distractions and disengagement. Students frequently become off-task, leading to disruptions and reduced learning opportunities. 

Entering Class: Teacher greets students before the lesson. If technology is being used, teacher gives specific instructions for use of technology.

Entering Class: Beginning the lesson is a chaotic process due to the absence of established routines. Students lack a clear understanding of expectations and proper behavior upon entering, leading to noise, tardiness, and disruptions.

Group Work/Discussion: Technology expectations are posted for group work time. Teacher uses proximity, check-ins, and whole group reminders/reinforcement of expectations. Group members have roles and maintain the learning environment.

Group Work/Discussion: Group work and discussions in the classroom lack structure and purpose. Students struggle to collaborate effectively, leading to unequal participation, off-topic conversations, and lack of meaningful contributions.

Device Charging and Storage: Teacher has an established location for storing and charging devices. Students understand how to get help with devices needing charge, potentially leveraging class technology helpers to facilitate.

Device Charging and Storage: Devices are haphazardly stacked in random areas in the room. Students are unsure how or where to charge devices, and there is no system to ensure devices are consistently charged and ready for use.

Maximizing Instructional Time: Teacher uses Google Classroom for streamlined access to resources, GoGuardian to reduce digital distractions, and instructional tools for in-the-moment data.

Maximizing Instructional Time: Teachers face difficulties integrating technology seamlessly into lessons, resulting in time-consuming technical issues and disruptions.

Device Troubleshooting: Teacher has a prepared troubleshooting checklist and technology helpers as the first level of support.

Device Troubleshooting: Teachers and students encounter challenges in resolving technical issues, resulting in wasted instructional time. There is no  support system, including troubleshooting guidelines, support staff/IT assistance, or offline mode/resources to use when there are issues with devices.
