Interactive Whiteboard

Working with the whiteboard in class was fun and also will be very useful when I learn to fully use it. I liked all the programs that are available to use on the whiteboard and I believe that they are very useful tools for the classroom. Also, I think that the students would like the programs; its different and would encourage the students to participate more in the lesson and also will help the teacher to be more creative in doing their lessons. I believe that the lesson on the whiteboard are convenient because it would cut down on the paper work . Thus, the only problem would be for the teacher to manage their time to setup the programs for the lesson. I think it is worth it though.

I would like to have a whiteboard in my classroom because of the different tools that are available I believe that the students would like it to because they do funmath.com and other website which have interactive functions and they love it. I could be creative with my lessons including history, and science.

The video project was fun to video. The group that I was in came up with our topic the week before. Also, the group that I was in worked very good together. It was hard trying to cut some of the video clips so that we would not go over in our presentation. Also, incorporating the sound with the video is kind of tricky.

I think that this project would be good for school children to do. It would make their class interesting and would encourage them to be creative in doing scenes or different topics. I would like to do this with my elementary class.
