ActivSlate and the Power of Learning!

My students need an ActivSlate and accessories for our Promethean Board.

My Students

My goal for 2016 lies with learning more about technology integration involving an ActivSlate device. Having one would allow me to offer for hands-on lessons with my students. This effective device would work in conjunction with my Promethean Board and could create powerful interactive lessons.

I am a teacher at a Pre K-5th grade school.

We are a tight community that works together. Our parental support is so amazing! Our local school has about 550 students. Teaching is something I truly enjoy. I love working with my adorable 1st grade students. The students at our school embrace technology. In my classroom, you will see students enjoying technology tools at any given time of the day.

My Project

First of all, you may want the answer to the question, what is an ActivSlate? It is a wireless tablet that offers the same interactive function as a Promethean Board but has the advantage of freedom of movement. I know I would need to learn more about this tool to begin this journey. I do have a Promethean Board, but could use an ACTIVSLATE 60 tablet to seamlessly integrate lessons with ActivInspire, the hub and charger for great lessons. In speaking with others and researching this device, I can see the potential in helping students with it. Their site states, "ActivSlate makes dynamic, interactive classroom experiences everyday occurrences by giving anyone who wishes to participate control of the ActivBoard from anywhere in the ActivClassroom. Students would be engaged with the ActivSlate and whiteboard flip chart daily in centers for all subjects. All teachers who have them are endorsing them for student use. The interactive lessons are such an asset to any classroom.

Conrad Hall stated "You are always a student, never a master.

You have to keep moving forward." There is so much truth to that statement! At this point, I am ready to move forward and learn more about ActivSlates along with my students. I've read powerful reviews about them. Technology is crucial at our school. My plan is to bring more interactivity to my students through this ActivSlate and accessories. Would you consider funding this technology project for my wonderful first graders?
