Classroom Management in the Digital Age
Tuesday August 12, 2025 1:00pm - 3:00pm PDT
Wenatchee Convention Ctr.
Are your students experiencing increased device distraction? Does it seem more difficult than ever to keep students focused on learning tasks? This is the session for you! You’ll experience a lesson using technology as a student while your teacher models good classroom management. After the short mini-lesson, you’ll put your teacher hat back on and debrief the classroom management strategies you observed. Finally, we will spend some time reflecting on our own practice and creating a plan for tweaking our own classroom management strategies for technology-rich classrooms.
