One of the hardest things about teaching in the 21st century

is sitting around a table with students when their laptops are open or when they’re given permission to use their devices in appropriate ways. All I can see are a bunch of glowing apples. From my vantage point I never know if they’re open to a relevant window. Teaching in a discussion format with laptops demands that I learn to trust students to stay on task. More importantly, it demands that I provide a learning environment where the students feel that staying on task can and will be rewarding. 

I’m sure many of you have strategies for teaching your students about what constitutes appropriate technology use when they’re given permission to use their devices. What do you tell them? How do you model it?
