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.
This is our first podcast since we started school. We cover a lesson structure called Category Sorting. With this sturcture you do not name the categories. Students will work together to formulate categories and also sort the items into the categories. We also cover our new website teachingwithsmartboard.com. We share a great flash stoplight timer from Teq Smart. Welcome back and we hope you enjoy the informational podcast about Smartboards.
