SMART BOARD IN ACTION



• Interactive whiteboards allow teachers to integrate the traditional chalkboard with modern technologies including computers, overheads, projectors and televisions.

• SMART Exchange is a portal that allows teachers to find lesson plans to be used with the SMART Board and connect with other teachers

• Allows teachers and students to build their technological skills in all subject areas.

• Teachers connect the SMART board to a computer and digitally display lessons and activities

• Teachers can manipulate their lessons on the board similarly to a basic white board.

CLICKERS



• What’s a Clicker? What’s a Mobi? What’s eInstruction?

• By popular demand by educators eInstruction Inc. developed the Mobi and CPS Response System (Kaye, 2009).

• These tools also allow for digital resources to be integrated into the classroom without having to have an actual smart board.

• Cost Efficient

• Mobi System $250 vs. Smartboard = $1,000 - $5,000

• Goals:

• To better engage the “digital natives” now occupying the classroom.

• Allow teachers to be more mobile while instructing students

• Teachers have access to their computers and can still deliver their lessons

• Clickers allow for direct engagement with students

CLICKERS IN ACTION



• How Does it Work?

• Each student is given a clicker to use in answering questions.

• The teacher asks questions verbally, or displays them from the computer, or distributes the questions on paper.

• The student enters each answer with their clicker. Students can not tell how others are answering.

• The teacher can view various reports after the assessment to see how each student answered each question, including an overall score on the assessment.

• If the teacher has a Mobi Interactive Tablet, the student answers can be viewed in real time on the Mobi screen.

• Other Applications

• Collaborative Activities:

• Challenge Board & There It Is

• ExamView to take assessments
