Morning Math Stretches
I found this flipchart both engaging and fun. Students would be edger to jump into learning
so they could move their number on the screen.
This is also beneficial to the teacher so she or he can tell who has
finished and who is still working. I
feel this chart would be a great way to start off morning work in the
classroom.
In regards to…
•hardware/software
This flipchat
will use a smartboard to be able to display the assignment to the class. The chat is also known as an instructional
software as it is used for drills and practices.
•technology use based on problem solving
Roblyer
& Doering (2013) discuss two problems that can limit a students learning
(p.25). Problem one is lack of
motivation, and problem two is unsupportive learning needs. This flipchat addresses them both. Problem one is addressed by gaining their
attention with the colors, fonts, and fun backgrounds. Problem two is supported by lots of practice for
the students in what they have learned thus far.
•essential conditions for technology integration
Like
with any technology integrated lesson, there are certain conditions that must
be met. One, teachers must be involved
in the planning of purchases. They are
on the “front lines” and know what is needed to make learning in their room a success. Also, the necessary funding and training for
these technologies are a must in order for the use of them to be a
success. (Roblyer & Doering, 2013,
p. 65- 68).
•software support tools
The
software support needed in this flipchart is known as interactive whiteboard
activity software. This software allows
teachers to display lessons and activities for students to see (Bolyer &
Doering, 2013, p. 147). The software I
use is ActivInspire. It offers a free
download on its website or you can access is from the Promethean website.
