In this podcast we take a look at a template called Guess the picture. Here is how it works. You put a picture or a problem or a sentence behind a few squares. You have a student and their partner go to the Smartboard and delete one square. They and the rest of the class try to guess what the picture is from the revealed area. If they don’t guess correctly, another set of two people come up and delete another square. This occurs until the picture is guessed. Scott has designed a few cool holiday items for the podcast. He shows a really nice snowflake maker.
In this podcast we cover the teaching template called Order of Importance. This is a way to put a set of items in a certain order. However, the order depends on the students choices. The only thing the students have to do is JUSTIFY why they put items in the particular place. It is a great way to get students to engage in the material and take a stand. This can be used in almost any subject and any age. We also go over a few listener submitted letters. We have to admit that we forgot to put in the jokes this week. Some of you may be happy about that. We will definitely put them in next podcast.
In this Podcast we discuss a memorization technique that is interactive and fun. They are a way to have the students work through a vocabulary and definition or simply just a spelling word. We also talk about some user tips for beginners. Things like using the page sorter and the select button. Hope you can join us.
Today’s Podcast is using Three Column Sorting to help teach your material. This is template “O” from the teaching templates from the gallery. (go to teachingwithsmartboard.com to get the gallery collection file “Teaching Templates” and it will automatically load into your “my content” gallery.
Using three column sorting you can define the categories and then make your items that go into the categories. This podcast explains how to get the template from the website teachingwithsmartboard.com. We also discuss a lesson from Steve Batts on Geometry involving parallel lines and a transversal. Of course, we have a few jokes included for you.
In episode 61 we cover a teaching template called category sorting with named categories. This is a great template for higher order thinking. The students may or may not be able to quickly idenify the categories that are within all of the items on a slide. This template is available from our website at http://teachingwithsmartboard.com. Go to the resources tab and then find the teaching templates collection file.
We also cover a Jeopardy template in smartboard that was given to us by a listener. It is very easy to edit and is a great review for your classes. Enjoy.
Lastly, we made a igoogle button on our website so that you can add our blog to your igoogle homepage and know whenever we upload a new podcast.
Oh yeah, don’t forget the new jokes that we have this week. We have a site for you to go to to check out a bunch of new clean fun 4th grade humor jokes.
