Comparing my experiences from week one and week two, are
very different. Week one was mostly
observing and helping a few students once in a while. My partner and I learned how to get around
the school and we met multiple other teachers, during the first week. However, this week I have already
participated more in content learning. Today,
my partner and I got to teach our own morning meeting! We used the interactive whiteboard and
allowed students to use it as well. I
thought it helped keep our morning meeting engaging and active. Does anyone else have an interactive
whiteboard in their classroom, and have any of you been able to use it
yet? Also, how do your students
participate in using the interactive whiteboard?

ReplyDeleteWe have an interactive whiteboard in my classroom as well! My teacher uses it for many things such as online books and also "MoveIt" for the students in the morning. I commented to my teacher that she uses the whiteboard more than any other elementary teacher I observed and she loved hearing that. She told me that she didn't quite know how to use it because she didn't work well with technology, but as the weeks go on she is using it more and more for educational games and online books! The students in my classroom don't really get to use the whiteboard because my CT doesn't post problems or worksheet- like assignments on the board. She mostly uses it for dancing and such!
ReplyDeleteThere is an interactive whiteboard in the classroom I'm in. The teacher uses it for displaying the morning meeting message, word work, reading books, go noodle, point system, etc. The children interact with it when doing word work. They get to pick a box that gives them a word and the whole class recites the word and spells it. Also, if they pick their name, they get an extra point in the point system. They really seem to enjoy it. They, of course, really enjoy go noodle as well! Other than that, they spend most of their time working in small groups. I suppose they may use it more in the afternoon but I'm not there at that time. I have never used the whiteboard.
ReplyDeleteYes there is an interactive whiteboard in my classroom. Today the kids were working on their r blends and she utilized the whiteboard. There were about six different r blends on the board. She would say an object and then pick on a student. The student went up to the smartboard and touched the corresponding r blend. My cooperating teacher also uses the whiteboard for go noodle. Go noodle is an interactive exercise video that she plays. It allows all of the children to see and hear the video. The video has them do jumping jacks, dance moves, run in place and other various exercises.
