Primary school teachers who need help incorporating the Smartboard (or Promethean board) into their lessons in efficient and effective manner. It is aimed at teachers who have used interactive boards to some degree but who do not feel fully comfortable manipulating them or incorporating them effectively into a lesson
- To show teachers how to use the different features of Smartboards and Promethean boards.
- To instruct primary teachers to create interactive lessons for many different subjects, such as math, science, social studies and language.
- To show teachers how to manage the classroom when there are 30 kids but only one smartboard.
- To provide examples on how to adapt the lessons provided to your specific students or subject matter.
After I provide specific lesson examples in the first session, the second session to be for teachers to practice with the Smartboard software and to create their own lessons.
- Smartboard and Promethean board menu and tools instruction.
- Smartboard lesson examples for primary school, targeting 3 - 6th grade.
- Lessons will be examples of a variety of subjects, such as math, science, social studies and language.
- Effective classroom management ideas for interactive board use.
The first session will be a presentation of 6 Smartboard lessons, instructing teachers how to use of Smartboard and how to create interactive lessons. Detailed handouts will be provided, illustrating how to build the lessons from scratch. Although we will be using a Smartboard, a verbal description will be given to how to preform the same technique on the Promethean board. The second session will be in the computer lab, almost exclusively dedicated to practice time. Each teacher will have the 6 lessons I provided, which they can either reproduce or adapt to their own classes.
A bibliography of resources will be provided upon request.
