The document outlines several methods for organizing student computer use in a classroom with limited computers: assigning scheduled time slots; using popsicle sticks or clothespins with student names to determine order; using a class roster or sign-up sheet; dividing students into color-coded groups that take turns; and projecting the computer screen for whole-class instruction. The goal is to give all students equitable access to the computer(s) for projects and activities while maintaining an orderly workflow.

Post a schedule. Allow a set amount of time for each student at the computer station. Students are responsible for getting to the station at the appointed time.
Draw Popsicle sticks. Write each student's name on a Popsicle stick. Place the can of Popsicle sticks at the computer station. Draw a stick at the start of the day. The person whose name is on the stick will start the day at the station. That student will draw a stick to determine who goes next.
Place Class Roster by Computers ? Students check off their names when they have been at the computer and finish the activity or lesson. ? Each student when finished selects another student without a check by their name to go to one of the computers.
Individual Student Sign-Up ? Use a Sign-Up sheet for students to sign-up when they are ready. ? Limit the number of times and minutes at the computer for each student. (use timer) ? Try to use computer time for projects and activities related to content area.
Using Clothespins ? Make a poster with ¡°waiting¡± on one side and ¡°Completed¡± on the other side. ? Tape a thick string down the middle of the poster. ? Use a marker and write each students¡¯ name on both sides of a clothespin. ? Point the clothespins with the name on the waiting side with the first four computers first. ? When each student finishes, let it be their responsibility to get another student who¡¯s name is next in order on the waiting side. ? You can rotate the order of the clothespins at the beginning of a project so students get equal access on the computer
Establish color-coded groups. Divide the class into five groups. Write the names of each group on a different sheet of colored paper, and post the papers by the computer station. The students in each group will spend time at the computer on a given day (for example, the students in the red group will have computer time on Mondays). The students within a group will go to the computer in assigned or random order.
Many teachers in one-computer classrooms project the computer screen onto a larger screen that the entire class can see.
Computer as Presentation Tool ? Connect one computer to large TV monitor. ? Demonstrate what you expect students to do for projects. ? Model an example project to students ? Give clear written instructions for project work.
