    looking forward to seeing your comments on this....
  • n2teaching says
    your comments are similar to those made by many who understand that this is an inclusive world. Remember that these writers need readers.
  • n2teaching says
    I often wish someone would edit my work. That working alone is the part of blogging that I don't like. This posting is a good start.
  • n2teaching says
    Consider putting this @ beginning: Maybe ... a classroom computer is...promote that first use beyond e-mail or report card writing.
  • n2teaching says
    IMHO, the paragraph above would center the rest of your statements. This is a topic you could use with examples for posts in the future.
  • n2teaching says
    Excellent points, IMHO that I agree with...must take the teachers from where they are also.

    We don't have IWBs at work. How many students can use them at the same time?
  • n2teaching says
    Yes! It is true not many can use it, but I think Ben's point is that many teachers, for good reasons, may see IWB as their tech entry level.

    one touch at a time, but many students can use it. Groups can collaborate on a chart. All contributing at different times. Compare result
  • roswellsgirl
    This can be saved, links can be added, learning can be shared in presentations or online.
  • gkat says
    Thanks, so small group collaboration and comparing results - that sounds good
  • Ben Hazzard
    n2teaching you have categorized my thoughts well... and I should have put that paragraph at the top :-)
  • Ben Hazzard
    roswellsgirl I like your comments that look beyond the one touch to the greater interaction with the content, students, and technology
  • Ben Hazzard
    gkat iwbs are just one technology tool, but I do believe that they have their place in classrooms for many of the reasons shared here

    I will have a SMARTboard for the first time this year. Only 2 in bldg. Hoping to inspire purchase of more.
  • scout7 says
    I will SMART lessons site to learn how to effectively use it. I consider myself a techie and am afraid I might not use it effectively.
  • n2teaching says
    scout7 the more you use the IWB (SmartBoard tm) the more ideas you will have to use it differently. Enjoy! B-)

    my school almost has one per room, go figure? But I think with proper PD and a good PLN the possibilities are endless
  • cobannon says
    chocxtc great point! Coming from the central office, I'm doing what I can to foster PLNs for these teachers. Collaboration is key.
  • cfox2 says
    if you haven't seen it being used effectively then you don't know the capabilities. You need to start slow with some so they are comfortable
