Building a 1:1 Routine
Daily ObjectiveUse your Learning Management System (Google Classroom) to post your Daily Objective each day. Make it a habit that students open their computers and check the objective before/at the very beginning of class each day.
Ways to Build This Routine: Incorporate a St udent Task (for immediate completion, or something they will do during the class) Into The Objective: If instructions for students are incorporated into the objective, there is purpose in checking it Put Entertainment into the Objective: Linking a meme, quote, link, infographic or something that engages students as a hook can encourage them to check the objective (or even look at your supplementary material) Remind and Reinforce: Place it on your syllabus, classroom rules signs and frequently verbally encourage (read: nag) students to open their computers and check the objective every day Incorporate Links From Previous Lesson: Include student feedback from previous lessons (Google Forms responses are very easy) in the objective to serve as a springboard for discussion and to hook students. Tools to Help Build This Routine: Article: Learning Objective Tips (Actions and Content Area) Planbook.com - Use your district subscription to Planbook.com, a lesson-planning program, to write/record your Daily Objectives ahead of time, then just copy and paste them each day.

Student Response Systems - There area variety of programs that allow teachers to post questions and have students respond to them. They vary in how interactive they are, what type of responses they allow and how they share data back.
Plickers - This is very game-based, and responses can be shared in real time Kahoot - This program is similar to Plickers, and is also used by grade 9 teachers. Socrative - This is a more complicated system, but allows for a wide range of question types and can store/find patterns in individual student responses.
