My school has several sets of the Promethean Expressions, the clicker shown on top that looks like the cell phone. It's amazing to have the kids be able to text, but you'll find more than enough reasons to use yours.
I didn't even know text capable ones existed. The ones I have are the same as the ones in the bottom picture. I talked to some more people about uses of them, and I'm very excited. I will be using them tomorrow!
When someone refers to "clickers" it's usually the remote control type device that students use to respond to questions on a computer screen. They're formally called "student response systems" in the industry, but we in the trenches just call them...
Tell me a little more about the clickers? Sounds like a techy extension of the old clickers that started operant conditioning training?
I have used them in coordination with a reading program around five years ago in DPS. The clickers were a great way to get the attention of the students and it drove faster response time, but control of the situation is a must. Be careful how they...
The terminal seminar is basically the course we will enroll in while completing our final project, not an actual class that meets regularly. Here is a link to the page on the IT website that has information about the course. There is a link to a P...
That website does look like fun! I think that some of my second graders could do it, although I guess I'd need to make sure they know what an adjective is first!

In the class CEP 810 that I am taking right now, we have been talking about Excel 2007 this week. I ran across some of the advantages of using Excel 2007 rather than Excel 2003. Here are the advantages:
1.The file size will be small...

Wordle.net is a fun website that has some great educational applications. Wordle creates "word clouds" based on text you enter on the site. It uses a variety of fonts, colors, and sizes to create a word picture. Most wordles are used for fun, but ...
Have you ever found a video on youtube that you feel is SO PERFECT to show in class, but your school blocks youtube.com for students and teachers? (If you don't have this problem, I ENVY YOU!) I constantly find fantastic educational video clips th...
In my classroom, my kids like to operate at turtle-speed as I like to say. It takes them so long to transition. To help this, I pull up www.online-stopwatch.com on my Promethean Board and pick a timer. They love this, it gets them moving, and it w...

Hi Carrie,
Interesting thoughts... I have just used Voice Thread with my 8 year olds. Initially it has just been used to take a dip into the unknown but they are loving it! There is always a couple who need extra help with it but generally it's be...

I just discovered this website called http://myteachermyhero.com/. It is interesting to see and hear how teachers inspired leaders from around the world. Also, for entering a candidate or video you can earn a $25 giving card throughout November. A...
Maybe it’s because I have problems making decisions, but it’s hard to pick a favorite internet resource (partially because what you’re teaching can greatly impact what is the most helpful resource at the time).Since I have taught all the way from ...
Hi Everyone,
I recently had an interactive whiteboard installed in my classroom. I didn’t receive any training, so I set out to find some interactive lessons for my English classes. It has been an interesting experience to “teach” myself how to us...
