Most 2nd - 5th graders will know what you mean if you give the instruction "screens at 45" or "screens black." It means that you want them to ignore all the distractions of the screen and computer and get some directions from you. It means you'll let them get right back to it, but for just a couple mintues you need their complete attention.
Screens at 45 means the laptop screen gets lowered to a 45-degree angle and hands need to be off keyboard. Student message to teacher: I'm not distracted by what's on my screen.
Screens black means everybody turns off their desktop monitors (2nd graders can make a whole lab go "screens black" in 2 seconds! it's a beautifully time-saving and respectful thing!)
