I'm going to try this with a couple of my classes next week. I promise to let you know how it goes! -
We'll be using this on our snowdays. Kids and teachers will meet in scheduled classes and continue to work using this as one of our tools. -
could also be used if you are sick and have a sub... maybe questions could be answered from home -
This is great for PD or extra help. I am going to try it out. -
Will definitely try this... especially with my extesion classes -
I once held a department meeting when I was out of the building using this. I have also used it while showing a movie to classes; students can comment and get questions answered right away. -
I've used it during a video in class. Kids are able to pose questions to each other, provide comments, state their opinions and express themself. Worked great. -
I have also used this at a conference so that our group could backchat during a key presenter

Plan to use it for discussion during class movie showing, for which I have in the past used Meebo rooms (no longer available) or piratepad: http://the-ed-rush.blogspot.com/2008/11/talking-through-movie.html This looks like it might work very well. -
Recently I had 9th graders talking to each other and me while they read a selection from their text. A couple of students did not like it, but most said it was helpful in understanding the material they were reading.

I use this often during my PBL activities. As students are researching, they post links to websites that are helpful for others and they post their ideas. At the end of the lesson, we look over the list one last time and make our whole-class decision based on our findings. My 5th graders love it and it has made their problem solving much better since it is based on research and collaboration.

How to Adjust to your Interactive Whiteboard: The Chart Page « classroom2point0 - 106 views

How to Adjust to your Interactive Whiteboard: The Chart Page Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs) have the potential to draw your students into lessons in ways that weren’t possible without substantial planning, troubleshooting, and cut-and-paste work on your part. In this second of what will become more posts, I’ll teach you how to quickly make a “chart” page that you can use over and over again. Then I’ll provide suggestions on how this chart page can be incorporated into various content areas at the middle and secondary level. Why a “Chart” Page? A “chart” page is easy to make and easy for you and your students to manipulate. You will use this page over and over again. Once you’ve saved this page, you and your students can quickly and easily create flow charts, concept maps, and other graphical representations of key ideas and concepts. As your students go to the IWB to demonstrate their thinking, you will find them more engaged and better able to retain information.
