Today in class we listened to a group facilitate a discussion about Rethinking Chapter 6. They did a really good job dividing up the class into discussion groups and by designating places throughout the room for us to go. They set a really high bar for the rest of the semester. I'm really excited to present next week. Dr. Boyer then went over different tips using the SMARTboard. It was a great help because there were quite a few things that I didn't know how to do. Even if it doesn't pertain to my specific IWB lesson, it's helpful to know how to do it in the future. I didn't know how to lock words so that they can still move yet not be edited. And I learned how to make clones of something that I want my students to drag across the SMARTboard. We learned to pay great attention to the coloring of our backgrounds and text. We also learned how we shouldn't include more than roughly 36 words per slide when creating presentations.
I think I might meet with Dr. Boyer to help me make some changes to my IWB. If not that, for sure with my Scratch lesson. Dr. Boyer discussed how he was on Skype and how we are able to reach him that way if office hours or email doesn't always work. Before we left today we did a mid-semester course evaluation.
