This week has been insanely busy with preparing my classroom, open house and getting ready for the first day of school. I have, however, looked into getting webcams to use in the school for the purpose of video conferencing. I spoke with teachers in other subject areas who are also also excited about the possibilities this new technology would bring to our school. Another part of my GAME plan I have worked on this week is my class website. I updated my Google Calendar and added some more information for the students to use throughout the year.
My principal has promised me a Promethian board, but it is still not here. I am excited about the opportunities this will allow, but I do not know how to use it or the capabilities. I figured I would just learn as I went along and played around with it. There are also other teachers in the building who have these boards who I can go to for questions.

Sarah,
ReplyDeleteA Promethian board sounds great. Definitely use your colleagues for ideas and lessons on your new board. We had a teacher who came from England where they were using smart boards in all the classrooms and she was a wealth of knowledge, providing links to lessons they used over there.
