Suggestions for Multitasking<br />
Through multitasking, students observe, practice, use, and apply keyboarding skills.<br />
Some suggestions for facilitating multitasking within the classroom are listed below:<br />
handwriting<br />
journal writing<br />
writer’s workshop<br />
listening station<br />
silent reading time<br />
math<br />
laserdisc activities<br />
morning warm-up<br />
center/station time<br />
guided reading time<br />
integrated time language arts<br />
The number of groups and group size depends on the needs of your students and<br />
available technology. For example, you may want to have larger groups with three<br />
different rotations or smaller groups with four or more rotations. The teacher may be<br />
engaged in direct teaching (as in guided reading) or observing/facilitating (as in<br />
monitoring student work).<br />
