Week 0 Option — Chromebook Norms + GimKit

Run the current student lesson with its existing evidence, resources, and submission route.

Daily Learning Contract

Topic: Safe and responsible device use

Objective: Students will apply and explain the classroom's acceptable-use, device-care, and help-seeking routines.

TEKS:
  • §126.19(c)(9)(A) — adhere to local acceptable use policy (AUP) and practice and advocate for safe, ethical, and positive online behaviors;

Demonstration of learning: GimKit response record plus teacher observation or exit response showing the student can choose and explain the correct routine in a device-use scenario.

Use what is already in Canvas

Student-facing task: OPTION · Chromebook Rules GimKit Day. Keep the current student page, requirements, points, and rubric as the source of truth.

  • Chromebook Rules GimKit option
  • teacher's local device expectations
  • current GimKit set

Before students begin

  • Open the student task in Student View and test the exact sign-in, link, file, or submission path students will use.
  • Prepare only the listed existing materials; do not require a personal account or a new unlisted product.
  • Keep the current student page available as the accessible and absence route.

Lesson flow

  1. 1. Launch: Put the purpose in front of students: Students will apply the classroom's local acceptable-use and help routines.
  2. 2. Model: Use one current example, tool, or teacher resource before students begin device routines.
  3. 3. Guide: Complete the first decision or step together; conference before students commit to a direction.
  4. 4. Build: Students complete the existing Canvas task. Do not add a second product or change the current rubric.
  5. 5. Check + next step: Verify this evidence before students leave: GimKit participation/completion and demonstrated device routine.

Scaffolds and teacher decisions

Keep the student lesson's bilingual tabs, word bank, models, and current support route in view while students work. Reduce the number of examples or provide a partially completed planning frame before reducing the evidence. If a student needs an alternate format, preserve the same named evidence and use the current rubric or teacher judgment rather than adding a hidden requirement.

Close the loop

Use the current Canvas submission for grading. Record the specific misconception, access issue, or revision need you observed; use it to choose the next lesson's launch rather than creating a duplicate exit assignment.
