This week I did a presentation for pre-service teachers on how to use the SMART Board, it was an overview of the possibilities of use in the classroom. The presentation was videotaped and we will be able to go through it and improve quality and content for the next times.
After that Dr. Jane Falls presented the equipment available for check out.
I also developed an ePortfolio to host the SMART Board Project. In this ePortfolio I have three short tutorials that I developed. The first one shows how to download the SMART Notebook Software and drivers; the second one shows teachers how to find ready-made interactive multimedia activities within the SMART Notebook files that can be used in class for whichever grade or subject matter; the third tutorial shows some useful SMART Notebook tools that can be used to create activities from the scratch. You can view all of this at: www.tinyurl.com/elzacruz-smartboard.
In the same ePortfolio I have included the lesson plan and class materials for the above-mentioned presentation to the pre-service teachers.
Last but not least the Lab GAs presented at the GSA Symposium at Virginia Tech. Our presentation was very well organized and each GA had a topic to talk about. Or presentation was about the Lab as being not only a physical space where people come to use the equipments available but a community of practice to learn, teach and discover. We share knowledge, skills and understanding in a collaborative environment. Thanks to yeonjeong for her efficient leadership.

Good job. It's a pity that I missed your presentation. Looking forward to the video taped version of it.
ReplyDeleteYou are a professional in the smart board now. I will have my comparison ready between the smart board and Promethean board as soon as possible. Thanks for your foundational work.
ReplyDeleteI really hate that I had to miss your presentation. It is a really good thing that the session was recorded. How did you feel that the response was to the session? I am sure you did a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteElza did do a great job in her presentation. I could even tell that the students were too! Hopefully now they have some ideas about it use and will use it in their student teaching. Elza has made a great start on the SmartBoard and developing some materials that will be of great use!
ReplyDeleteThe SMART board workshop was great, I always learn something new about technology and myself every time I use them or interact with it like in your session last week. When I produce the DVD, it'll be a blockbuster, LoL!
