Introduction to Computers for Teachers

Emerging Tools

While SMART Technologies isn't entirely new, it may be new to some of you. Today, you're going to spend the first 30 minutes of class exploring different SMART Activities. (Hint, here's a great list to check out.) Then we'll spend the next 30 minutes taking turns showcasing what we've learned. For this in-class, group activity, you may pair up into groups of 3 or 4. Each group will have 5 minutes to present their exploration findings. Note that this is your final Exploration Task for the course. Attendance is required to receive full points.

Preparing for the Showcase


What is the showcase?

The showcase is an opportunity to see and be seen. Take a look at what your classmates have done this semester and share the work for which you are most proud. We’ll eat, talk, visit, and reflect on the work we’ve done this semester. Think of a creative way to decorate your workspace. At minimum – you’ll need a creative name tag. Former students have printed out sample work from portfolios, brought refreshments, or had some clever reason why students should visit their workspace.

Review the portfolio checklist – make sure you have everything completed. I have shared individual checklist reports with you so that you know what you're missing.

For Thursday

  1. Post a short description of your SMART exploration on your portfolio as "Emerging Tools;" include a link and short paragraph about how you would use the lesson or tool
  2. Thursday is our last day of class; be prepared to show off your portfolio
