Interactive Instruction With Promethean ActivPanel Technology
Help me give my students an engaging educational experience with touchscreen ActivPanel technology that will allow me to design integrated lessons using ClassFlow, interactive polling, virtual field trips, and Google Chromebooks.
My eighth-grade math students are learning to love the synergy of technology, math, and real life. These students learn most effectively using hands-on materials and methods. They have limited access to technology on a large scale, which they may be required to use in future education or employment. These students live in a rural East Tennessee community and many do not have any computer or technology access at home. In addition, my classes include students of all academic abilities and aptitudes.
My Project
Students need to be challenged in a 21st-century classroom on multiple levels of engagement and interaction. Let’s be honest, students absolutely love using technology, so why not harness this idea and take advantage of the touchscreen ActivPanel's unique interactive features to create activities and questioning that sparks student discussions and engages students of all abilities so they can perform on a much higher level. On their website, Promethean states, "the ActivPanel transforms front-of-the-classroom instructional displays into interactive, digital spaces for both whole-class instruction and small team engagement." I wish to have the ability to provide this classroom transformation for my students every day.
