I work with ED students at the middle school level. We have a one to one laptop roll out at our school. However, sometimes it is difficult to keep students fully engaged in the lesson and to keep them from tuning out when they have the tech device in front of them. We have moved from using them for instruction to using them as reinforcement. If anyone has any suggestions on ways I can improve this, I would greatly appreciate it.

We don't use technology every day on the HS level, but our students love to use it for Kahoot, Quizizz, and Quizlet. If you can integrate that in not everyday but maybe a couple times a week or so, it may be helpful. Also, what about an online exit ticket as a routine?

I agree with you. I think specially Kahoot students love it.
