I teach the fifth grade in NYC and I am taking a workshop called Smartboard Training and Curriculum Writing. I decided to use the smartboard for review for the Statewide SS Exam. I am putting questions on powerpoint and making it interactive. If a student gets the question wrong, it goes to a screen that tells them why it is wrong. If they get it right, it goes to a screen that tells them that it is correct. Coworkers of mine are using it for reading. They scanned a book onto the smartboard software and they block out words and have the student figure out from the context clues what words belong in the box. They also use it for Venn Diagrams after reading two stories. I think using the smartboard is excellent. The problem is that it is not always set up and ready to go whenever you want. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
