These are examples of managment boards I have seen in classrooms.

 * ===With this example students are set a particular task that they all have to complete over a period of time. It may be an Interactive Learning Centre or a wiki page the teacher has created with links to the activities. Students turn their labels over when they have had a turn and stick it to the board so that the blank side is showing. The teacher is able to see at a glance who has not had a turn.=== || ===This innovative idea came from Jan at Favona School. Each child has a peg and they place their peg in the container when they have had their turn. The pegs that are left are the students still to do the activity.=== ||

 * ===This is a management system I have used for years and I have seen teachers use it successfully with students from Year 0 - 8.===

This does work well but some students take longer than others to 'get' how to organise themselves. Assign a buddy!
|| ===Along side the above management system I run my choices board for Drafting, Conferencing and Publishing.===

Students can choose how they Draft, what they would like to do while waiting to conference and finally how they would like to publish after discussion with me.

 * ===These are some of the choices for drafting, I place a number beside them to show students how many people can be drafting in that style.=== || ===I always have some type of self management tracking sheet for the students. This is where they identify each week what choices they have made. This helps me in several ways===
 * ===I can identify the student's learning style===
 * ===I can see how they like to learn===
 * ===I can plan further activities around the likes and dislikes=== ||

 * ===While I am conferencing with students I do not like to have other students waiting for me in a line or nearby. I like them to be busy and engaged in some other learning activity. That is why I am a great fan of Learning Centres. Again I cater for all learning styles and interests, that is why you will see science, technology, art, music, reading and writing activities as part of the Conferencing choices. In this way I can never have a student say to me that they have nothing to do and there will always be something they can do that interests them.=== || ===Again I have some type of self management tracking sheet for the students.

 * ===I like to have lots of choices for students to publish. When they conference with me we will talk about the best way to publish their work.=== || ===And again I will have a management tracking and assessment sheet for students.=== ||

Use a Google Spreadsheet in the same way
