Interactive Technology & Teaching in a Participatory Digital World

 

We spent today finishing up our videos from yesterday and then moved on to interactive technology, focusing on SMARTechnology devices. Today was the first time I'd seen a smartboard in action. They seem like they have alot of capability and practical applications in the classroom. The number of lessons and online resources to use with the technology is growing, which is excellent. I look forward to hopefully having access to this type of technology in the near future.

The Smart Response technology that we looked at today is very similar to the CPS (Classroom Performance System) that I use at Bow Valley College. I find some of the ways that you navigate in this software is a bit confusing at first but the students really enjoy it and it can be used for alot of different things in the classroom.
