Scenarios: What would you do?
You want to start the lesson. Some students have their iPad on and are doing various games or social networking. Others have their iPad off.
Scenario 1:
All of the students should be working on the same task. However, three students keep flipping back to the game app that they are involved with.
Scenario 2:
The students should be using various apps to complete a group task.However, one team member is spending most of her time social networking.
Scenario 3:
One student doesn’t have the app you need and doesn’t seem to be able to download it.
Scenario 4:
You strongly suspect that a student is gaming in this lesson but you haven’t caught them at it. Every time you go near them they have the task on their screen.
