We All Can Benefit from a Growth Mindset |
- Sign in, stowe your other devices, and log into a Chromebook. Complete the While You Are Waiting (WYAW) activities (including attendance!)
- How you can use your IWB to support instruction
- Presentations, digital slide shows
- Bring up a map and show a route and have the students describe using N.S.E.W. directions
- Focus or zoom in on a visual (e.g. Science, Social Studies) using the magic pen option
- Brainstorming ideas and/or creating concept maps (mindmeister on the IWB)
- Put up a writing sample on the board and use highlighter, etc. tools to edit/revise
- Use the "record" feature to make a short movie to demonstrate steps in solving a complex math problem
- Reviewing material and using the board to reinforce content knowledge (e.g. Jeopardy)
- As morning check in for kids to do attendance, lunch count, and weather.
- Save lessons to present to students who were absent
- Prepare "substitute lesson plans" on a day you have to be gone
- EFFECTIVE Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) Lessons are instructionally sound and interactive!
- PEDAGOGIAL INTERACTION - kids actively involved in: Discussion, Collaboration, Question-posing, etc.
- TECHNICAL INTERACTION - kids physically touching the board and manipulating objects
- DEMO: Second Grade Geometry (Digital and "Vintage" Manipulatives)
- PEDAGOGIAL INTERACTION - kids actively involved in: Discussion, Collaboration, Question-posing, etc.
- Some interactives that take advantage of the options that the IWB offers - works on all "flavors" BIG OLE LIST O' INTERACTIVES
INTERACTIVES: These are websites that take advantage of the interactivity of an IWB but are not from within the IWB's particular software
SMART = Notebook software and .notebook
PROMETHEAN ActivBoard = ActivInspire and .flipchart- Mathematics Interactives http://www.teacherled.com/iresources/numeracybasics/?resource=isometric

- What do teachers do? They modify existing .notebook and .flipchart files to meet the needs of their students, curriculum, and their teaching style but rarely start from scratch because:
- Teachers are BUSY people
- There are a huge number of lessons already created you can use (for free!)
- So, let's do what teachers do since we are teachers! When you go to these websites, log/sign in with your class gmail account.
- Grab .notebook lessons. You can search by grade level and subject and either download and edit them in the software for use in your classroom face-to-face or save to your online account and teach online.
- Here is where you find .notebook files to download (sign in required) and use in your classroom or save to Smart Suite and use online
https://exchange.smarttech-prod.com/
- SmartSuite is where you can store IWB lessons for remote teaching
https://suite.smarttech.com/ (sign up here as a teacher to set your remote account like we did in class with class sharing)
- Here is where you find .notebook files to download (sign in required) and use in your classroom or save to Smart Suite and use online
- Grab .notebook lessons. You can search by grade level and subject and either download and edit them in the software for use in your classroom face-to-face or save to your online account and teach online.
- Promethean Activboard .flipchart lessons You can also search by subject and grade.
- Here is where you can find, save, and teach the flipchart online: https://prod.classflow.com/classflow/#!/login/teacher
- Here is where you can find, save, and teach the flipchart online: https://prod.classflow.com/classflow/#!/login/teacher
- IWB in the time of covid: You can deliver instruction via the students' devices using existing notebook and flipchart lessons.
- SMARTboards use the SLS (Smart Learning Suite) option (we'll try this....).
Go to http://hellosmart.com and use class ID: 636 304
- Wish to download and install trial versions of the software on your own laptop?
- SMART Notebook: https://education.smarttech.com/products/notebook/download (30 days)
- ActivInspire: https://support.prometheanworld.com/download/activinspire.html
- SMART Notebook: https://education.smarttech.com/products/notebook/download (30 days)
- WHAT BOTH CAN DO: In-person and not remote use of the IWB
There are similarities and differences in the interface between the two programs.
- Tabs, Galleries (SMARTboard: on the side; Promethean: above)
- SMARTBoard: Infinite clone (from object menu); Promethean ActivBoard: Drag a copy (from Properties menu)
- SMARTBoard: Text recognition from object menu; Promethean ActivBoard: Select word as object>> use Properties menu to "Convert to text" and choose from the dropdown
- SMARTBoard: Magic pen to spotlight and zoom; Promethean ActivBoard: Menu item to spotlight and key stroke (CTRL + Shift + Z) to zoom - left click to zoom out and right click to zoom in
- DemoTime: Let me model some basics and some tricks.....
- Orienting the board (the 21st Century version of cleaning the erasers and chalk tray ;-)
- Using the pens [special options] and eraser
Use the "magic" pen to spotlight [circle], magnify [square], and disappear [freehand] - Using the shade to reveal
- Moving objects around on the board (hand, wand, non-sharp object)
- Infinite cloning, Text recognition, Adding a Link, Inserting a Sound
- Exploring two notebook lessons (procedural and instructional)
- YOUR TURN! Break up into EVEN groups of FOUR (4) and explore using the IWB with both lessons and interactives. Make sure each person gets a turn.
PROCEDURAL/PRODUCTIVITY
