Teaching History With Technology an article by Tom Daccord History Teacher/ Instructional Technology Assistant, revised February 8, 2003 Though I began teaching high school history in 1985, I had never used a computer in the classroom before arriving at the Noble and Greenough School My Early Experiences in a Laptop Classroom Fortunately, most of the technical glitches were resolved within a week thereafter and Steve soon left our classroom permanently. One of the positive by-products of the first ten days was that the kids developed a collaborative and non-intrusive approach to solving tech problems whereby the more tech-savvy kids in the class helped the less-tech savvy ones by simply whispering instructions that could help solve a problem. I also made it clear that I was not going to stop class in order to deal with individual tech issues. So the kids learned to solve the most common tech problems on their own quickly and without disrupting class. Yet, I also made some adjustments in the early going. I made the students work in small groups quite regularly so that if one machine malfunctioned they would have another one readily available. As the students became more skilled with the machines that became much less necessary. In the first few months the students used their iBooks primarily to take notes in class, receive homework assignments and messages via e-mail, and do web-based activities in class. The most obvious early benefit I could see was the general excitement, engagement, and focused activity that these machines helped provoke. On several occasions the bell rang to end class and not a single student stopped working; students were sometimes oblivious to the fact that I was leaving the room. The machine just seemed to captivate and motivate them and the kids also relished the fact that they were pioneers in the use of computers in the classroom at Nobles.
