Smart Boards Prevent Bored Students
Six of our teachers at Juniper Elementary School will be receiving and creating lessons using Smart Board technology in their classrooms for the first time. Our goal is to provide teachers the equipment and training in order to use the Smart boards effectively in the classroom. Or focus will be to create lessons that are student interactive, were students use the technology to teach and learn while the teacher is free to move about and work with children on their level.
At this time, our teachers have completed a selection process. We hoped to focus on teachers who felt that they would or could use the technology daily in their classroom. Our school is a technology Magnet for our district and this has been of great benefit as much of the needed infrastructure was already available in many of the classrooms. By luck or interested teachers represent nearly all grade levels in the building. There classrooms are also in places throughout the campus that evenly distribute the equipment for long term use.
This entry will be updated upon arrival of the equipment and then again during training in the case that anyone would like to be involved in the training opportunity.
Thanks to everyone who is making this possible!
The grant application is available upon request.
