Smart Notebook and Promethean
Desktop publishers delivering interactive pages of content.
Flipping between sheets is so easy ordering a series of slides is not necessary. Lessons rarely follow a prescribed order: jumping ahead to slide no. 3 to answer a question is easy and shows you value the input of the child who made the question.
Creating flip-charts/slides in front of the kids, with the kids, is a more efficient use of time and allows scope for interactivity (have the kids themselves build the content).
If you do prepare, don't waste time making things flowery. Make it functional. Bells and whistles may engage, but ultimately the learning experience becomes shallow.
Smart Notebook tools to find on Promethean:
- Hide and Reveal (blind)
- Putting in links to .exe files (located in Program Folders on C Drive) to launch applications automatically (e.g. a spreadsheets program to enter data that has been looked at in other slides)
- Shape Recognition tool
- Zoom/Focus and highlight tool (spotlight)
- Gallery of images
- Adding sound
Anything you can put on your monitor screen you can put on your whiteboard.
Some sites to explore
Class Tools
Education City
Domo Kun
Panoramas (creative writing prompt)
Myna (mood music for texts, putting music to emotions)
Tasks
(Audit of computer knowledge)
Audit of software/hardware at school in the classroom (see generic form in ICT documents)
