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.
In today’s podcast we explore matching using the smartboard. We go through a few examples and give a template as well. We also talk about how to randomly select a student to go to the Smartboard. Lastly we talk about a new Podcast called Technology in Teaching.
In this podcast we try to give a little structure to our lessons with something called, “Fill in the missing pieces”.By giving the framework for the students they catch a pattern quickly.Our examples are all mathematics related; however, this can be transformed to any subject very easily.Students are asked to solve problems out of the normal sequence including backwards.We also talk about how to save a page to the gallery.As always, we have a couple of jokes for you.Hope you can join us.
Why should you choose SMARTboard (or any IWB)?We cover a variety of reasons why this might be a good idea. We also review the classic lesson structure called Characteristic Sorting with many examples.
