How to Use a Smart Board in Your Class With eighth and half years in school administration, I have completed over walkthroughs and seen all subjects in high school.
Checking for Understanding Picture a high school math class with 25 students in the room. Jeopardy I saw a teacher do this often as a review for her biology vocabulary quizzes. Card Sort This was another idea from a biology class, but easily could be done in any subject. Visuals for Young Learners A couple of elementary teachers have found that during the COVID era of education, this is a great way to let students see something that they might usually have in their hands.
More in Technology in the Classroom. Boddle is an educational math game that targets students in…. Most of them are free. The two I used were hanging crystals that form a sailing ship when you look at them from one angle only.
The other I used was a pile of trash that was arranged in such a way that when a spotlight was aimed at the pile towards a blank wall, the shadow looked like a girl reading a book. My point was that the stars in most constellations, barring a few, have nothing to do with each other.
Next, I showed the solar system. I got an excellent animated GIF that shows the planets revolving around the sun. It clearly showed that they all travel roughly in the same plane. Next, I got images of constellations in the Zodiac and put them on a PowerPoint loop. This also sparked their attention, because they thought maybe I was going crazy with horoscopes.
Not so. The children loved the show and asked enough questions for me to explain just about all I know about the night sky as seen with the naked eye.
Learning how to use a smartboard in the classroom is quick and easy, so even if you have never used one before, you will soon be able to get some essential skills. Here you can see a few examples of how teachers of different subjects use an interactive board in their lessons. Arslanian is a computer teacher in an elementary school who teaches word families for beginner readers. She uses large photographs to illustrate the word, and has a child find the letters to spell the word by pointing and dragging the letters.
The action is repeated with pictures of other words in the family and different children using the interactive whiteboard to spell the word. The teacher tries to start a discussion by showing only a portion of a photograph and asking the students what they think is happening.
Once the whole picture is revealed, she asks the students to describe what is happening. As ideas are given, she writes them on the smartboard and analyzes the sentence structure. Finally, she lets the students access the Internet to learn the real history of the picture.
The teacher introduces the topic of plants with pictures of several types of plants on the smartboard. She starts the topic with seeds, sunlight and water. The lesson is basically a lecture with intermittent questions for the students. The interactive whiteboard is used as a regular board, but with the added attraction of colorful graphics that illustrate the lesson and the ability to change the picture with the touch of the stylus.
The teacher uses the smartboard to randomly select a student to participate. Once a student is selected, they get to answer the next question by erasing to reveal, drag and drop, and they get pens to underline any answers. The smartboard is used for quizzes when students are learning to read notes. They have to recognize the note within a certain time limit. They must also recognize the components of rhythm. Once they learn to read notes, they can start to compose on the interactive whiteboard.
The incredible part is that the smartboard will play back what the student writes. The teacher gives a demonstration on how to use the toolbar for geometry. She writes fractions on the board and then changes the handwriting into a font.
The board will also solve the problem. Equations can be transformed into graphs, allowing the students to get on with problem solving and research. This is a lecture-style lesson with the added advantage of attractive graphics to enhance the experience for young children. It appears in this video that the students have touchscreen pads that are connected to the interactive whiteboard so they can participate from their seats. Real-time collaboration is made possible with easy finger touch technology.
This quick touch functionality makes quick editing, drawing, and writing a dream! A low-gloss surface makes the board work less-straining on the eyes and is easier to work from in bright classrooms. Rounding off our list of fantastic whiteboard systems is the Ipevo IW2. It's another interactive presentation system and this time it comes with a unique control panel!
With this device, you can turn any flat surface into an interactive projector and whiteboard. With remote controls, operating the system is easy! The control panel gives you unique pen power so that you can annotate with the click of a button. The system operates by way of a wireless sensor that receives input signals from a wireless receiver that gets plugged into your laptop whilst in use. Worried that you'll be limited in terms of remote control use? There's no need to be!
And here's why; you can access thousands of digital colors, 11 various line thicknesses, quick erase and saving abilities as well as so more model benefits! The biggest benefit of using a smart board in class has to be the ability for technology integration. This has a number of additional benefits such as being able to enrich students learning experience by pairing it with quality visual projections. Lesson plans are preserved and can easily be returned if not completed during one class session.
This will ensure students are getting bored and are always introduced to knew material methods, that they can potentially use at home and engage with parents. Investing in smartboards are costly to the school, yet with the support of edde education becomes very feasible.
Smartboards are very environmentally friendly as it cut downs all need for printing and printers as everything is accessible online and then projected via the board to all students. Smartboards are a great tool for students to present their work to the class, which is a way to build their confidence. Having the confidence and ability to present and talk in front of an audience is a key skill when getting a job. We offer an education leasing service which enables your school to spread the cost of the equipment and not feel the pressure!
