Those newfangled electronic whiteboards..1
So I’ve been going to a school and teaching for the past two weeks. My first lesson was handwriting, which was coincidentally the last lesson I did. Now, in my last prac when I was doing that lesson, I accidentally drew the lines on the board the long way so that caused a huge delay in terms of teaching them.
So where am I going with this?
At my last prac, there was a smartboard, but I’ve been taking massive advantage of having a smartboard this time around. Rather than draw it on the board and take a hefty amount of time, I googled the handwriting paper line style and just showed it up on the smartboard, where all I had to do then was pick up one of their “electronic” pens and write away!
So all I’m trying to say is..
Smartboards are an excellent creation and offer so many opportunities when crafting lesson plans. I’ve had “worksheets” up on board that students were DYING to answer! Now that’s engagement.
