Whiteboard

my vision did weaken as I grew older. The change in my eyesight was very gradual, so much so that I hardly realized just how much of the world I was unable to see. By the time I was in the seventh grade, I noticed that I could no longer see the whiteboard in school as clearly as I should. After failing a vision screening given by my school, my parents took me back…

On Tuesday, October 11, our senior class traveled to Fort Hays State University to sit in on a philosophy class focusing on bioethics. During this time we had the chance to listen to Dr. Douglas Drabkin discuss the act of being charitable, relating to various articles as well as videos. Throughout the dialogue we were required to take notes on three different senses dealing with the actions happening in the classroom. I decided to write down my observations on the senses sight, hearing and smell…

Our classrooms are typically small and hold about 30 students. In each classroom there are about 35 desks, one whiteboard and blackboard, and a computer connected to a projector. Our dormitories consist of one large room. In each room there will be two beds. Each boy will be assigned a room and a roommate and will be able to decorate their rooms as they please. In…

Kalgoorlie. The community is celebrating the Heart of Gold Festival this weekend. This celebration leads the students to learn about how do people discover gold in Kalgoorlie. The teacher will display a picture of Paddy Hannan on the interactive whiteboard. Ask the students to guess who is in the picture and what is the significant of that person in Kalgoorlie. 1. When the students already know that its…

Todaysmeet TodaysMeet is an easy-to-use, versatile digital tool to get collaboration going. It can help teachers embrace the backchannel and connect with your audience in real time. It can be used in pretty much any grade when the teachers want to encourage students to ask questions and make discussions, provide a place for ideas and more. I love this tool and so do my students. As a World Language teacher, it may seem obvious that a text-based tool would be useful. The best thing, however, is…

When a closer look is taken at the classrooms in the early stages of education, the tools that were available came in the form of chalk boards, chalk, pencils and lined paper. Technology was comprised of resource and text books, and if research was needed for a specific assignment, students either utilized the school library or spent a Saturday at the local library combing their way through endless books to find what was needed. Through the advancements of technology, teachers and students have…

My personality type indicated by The Keirsey Temperament report is that of the idealist and I agree. It seems I always strive to discover who I am and how I am my greatest – whether it be professional, such as education or self-improvement, such as, better health. Inspiring others to visualize their dream or journey has led to lasting relationships. Always working with people, from my first job at McDonald’s, then a bank teller, dabbling in sales, and eventually a manager, I believe being…

the technology provided. This is why it is important for students to have access to the technology as well, so they are not left behind. Students get left behind in learning when the only available technology in the classroom is an interactive whiteboard, for example (“What Is”). In 1999, ninety-nine percent of teachers had access to a computer…

principles. This means that I would set up a clear expectation for the lesson of what is to be learned and the behavior I expect (Snowman 2015). Elaborating on this, I believe that writing the objective in a simple manner somewhere such as on the whiteboard so that all students can view it would be a beneficial addition to the lesson. This would allow for students to be aware of what their goal is, and they can reflect while working if they are making progress toward that objective. Next, to…

in the way that outgoing learners will make faster progress than those who are afraid to talk in class for fear of making mistakes 4. Difference in the proffered learning styles as some students learn best when they see something written on the whiteboard, others will prefer lecturing, and some will learn best while doing something by themselves. If the lesson planning is predisposed to one teaching or one type of activity, some students will be at a disadvantage 5. Difference in interests like…
