The Promethean board has definitely made its mark in my classroom. I have created a flipchart presentation that accompanies each 85-minute lesson. In fact, the Promethean board is so much of an instructional tool that I cannot image teaching an 85-minute class without it. From the moment the students walk in the door, homework and warm-up is displayed. Even my classroom management is connect with the board where I use the timer to pace various activities. In addition, the presentation of information has upgraded drastically to include video and audio clips through embedded resources or online resource accessed by link in the flipchart, colorful pictures, and text formatting. For guided instruction, students will be able to see an exact, enlarged image of their sheets as the teacher models or conducts guided practice. To assess their knowledge, students would be given Activotes where an immmediate feedback will be given.
I have also used Edline as an attempt to create a "class website" (long before I knew that class blogs existed). Please view this Edline video for more details (see Jing in action)!
