eInstruction Interwrite Workspace

Teachers,

It's time to learn something new!!!

Something that will stretch your thinking and at first add an extra and different work load to your teaching.  Something that can bring a fresh new look or perspective to a worn out lesson.  This something is the Interactive Interwrite Projector and Workspace.


By no means will it transform you into SuperTeacher or help you make a student learn better.  Your teaching qualities you and God have honed since that first teaching year where you learned more than the kids is what will make things better.  We are just going to be provided a tool that brings a "techno slant" focus to your lesson.  Maybe students will pay more attention.  Maybe they won't.  In fact there may be a student who will find ways to not like it.

What you decide to do with it is what will make it gel with your lessons.  If you are excited, as Roxane showed us with her history presentation during devotions, your class will be excited.  It could be as regular as a Friday quiz on your whiteboard using the curtain or spotlight.  Or it could be using pictures, video, or an interactive website to enhance your learning.



1.)Online Community

2.)Online Training Videos

3.)Magnetic Poetry

4.)Virtual Knee Surgery

5.)Google Sketchup - 3D drawing and rendering

6.)Word Concept Map

8.)Making a sketch that lasts

9.)Math Activities Online

10.)Time Toast - Interactive Timeline
