Hand in Hand Learning with Promethean Boards
Our Hand in Hand Learning Project is about enhancing all students� learning while engaging the special needs students using Promethean Board Systems. Desert View is K-5 school in Hermiston, Oregon. This project involves a 1st, 3rd, and 4th grade classroom and the media specialist. The main goal of this project is to motivate and improve student learning in Math and Writing using the interactive white Boards. Each of the 3 classrooms will receive a Promethean Board, a slate, a wand, and share a set of ActiVotes. The teachers will also attend the ITSC conference and receive training on using these systems.
Teachers will integrate the Interactive Boards with a variety of lessons across the curriculum. Learning will be student centered starting with an introduction to basic prerequisites, involve student exploration, teachers will facilitate student collaboration and sharing within the grade level, teach others across the school, and publish on the web. Teachers will team monthly at Professional Learning Community events to share discoveries, teach other teachers about their impact on student learning and what�s been most motivating.
The second goal of this project is to increase teacher skills incorporating this interactive and motivating tool into student lessons with more boards in the future. Our teachers have used Promethean Boards before on a check out basis, but need to have them permanently available in their rooms to impact on-going student learning.
