Types of Schedules

I use a variety of schedules for getting students on to computer.  These are determined by the number of students, the amount of time I have in the day, and the scope of the project.

Subject Rotation

Takes place during the schedule subject block all activities the classroom center around the content area.
Usually used with partners at computers.
Usually teams are on computer every other day as this allows for more work at the computer with shortened times.

Day On Computer Seat Activity Monday Internet Research Teams 1 - 6 State Maps Teams 7 - 12 Tuesday Internet Research Teams 7 - 12 State Maps Teams 1 - 6 Wednesday Internet Research Teams 1 - 6 Colonial Vocabulary Teams 7 - 12 Thursday Internet Research Teams 7 - 12 Colonial Vocabulary Teams 1 - 6

Block Schedule I use this one a lot. This is where the students have 2 or 3 different things they are working on for the morning time. Length of times for each block can vary as well as the activities in the block. Literacy Block fits this really well. When used in literacy block student assignments are set up according to which reading group they are in. Block Example Time 9:45 10:30 11:30 Tim, Jim, Jane, Sue, Sally, Dick, Henry, Lynn, Reading Group On Computer Reading Response Silent reading on Biography Assignment  8 more students names here On Computer Reading Response Silent Reading on Biography Assignment Reading Group 8 more student names here Silent Reading on Biography Assignment Reading Group On Computer Reading Response

To Do List This type of schedule is for finish up projects or when teams need some extra time. I list on the board the expected activities in priority list form and then include a sign up for computer. When computers become available or at a set time I rotate the next students on.
