I was so surprised and thankful to get my smart board after Christmas Break. Right away I used it with our new math resources, but I haven't used it much for literacy.
As I read over my journal from the winter, I see time and time again how nervous I was about using the new technology. I wish I had a class on how to use it before I got it.
So upon reflection, I signed up for a smart board class being taught at SORLA. I am looking forward to it. I hope to get some new idea, and also I hope to feel less intimidated by the technology.
At SORLA I am also going to go to a Pattie Greene class about conferring with the reader not the book. That goes along with my PDP for this year. Every time I listen to Pattie Greene I take away something new and useful.
Is anyone else going to SORLA? What classes are you taking?
Smartboards are a great tool to use in the classroom. I wish this year I had more time to create more lessons for the Smartboard. I did really like to use it for Math. I think that the students understood the lessons and were more engaged in the activites that they could all see and interact with.
