Mobile Collaboration Spaces

Funded Aug 22, 2018

It has been a wonderful experience using our new mobile whiteboards in the classroom and has fundamentally changed how I organize and pace lessons, and how students engage with the material and content. We have been using the whiteboards in traditional ways, such as recording, planning, brainstorming, and sharing information in small groups. This is a wonderful way to preserve student work so it can be used over the course of various projects and not have to be erased. We also, however, have been putting to use in less traditional ways. We rearrange them to create a recording booth for our video reading responses. We also arrange them to act as backdrops to our storytelling.

The students were excited but unsure as they have not been a classroom that utilized whiteboards in this manner.

In the future, we plan on using the whiteboards in other ways, such as creating custom backgrounds for different reader's theatre plays throughout the year. We will also be recording podcasts and will again use them as sound booths.

From all of us, thank you so much!!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Escobar-Ausman
