A strategy I would really, really, really like to try is using a smart board with questions reviewing content while having students click in their answers. I've been to a couple of Promethean board training sessions and have seen how the science teachers at the other middle school in Hermiston use them. The school that I'm placed at right now doesn't have any smart boards (at least none that I'm aware of).
The Spanish teacher at the high school I was at during my A placement started using the Promethean board this year. She said that student comprehension, participation, and test scores have jumped up significantly. The science teachers I have talked with that use them have had similar success. As soon as I have a teaching placement, I will do all I can to obtain a Promethean board.

I find the smartboards beneficial to use i have had some training on them, i don't think that they are the way to teach some classes. for instance i do not think it would be beneficial in a physical education class. I do however feel it would make my life easier if i had a smartboard in health classes or even just a computer with a projection screen.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn how to use smartboards. I have heard about them, but I have never been trained on one. I hope that this summer we get the opportunity to learn on one. If you could let me know some of the things you learn to do on there and some strategies that could be used with it that would be great.
