Tuesday I was at a 21st century school.

It is Obee School. This is what I saw yesterday. Mrs. Atkins was reading The Mitten to students. Then when the students went to tables she made a presentation on the Promethean that she downloaded about the animals in the mitten story. This could be adapted for many levels BUT don't forget reading the book in a storytelling setting begins the process! The flip chart she downloaded is from Promethean Planet and is called Mittens. There are a variety of activities in the flip chart and she choose to review the animals. The screen shot above shows what it looks like.

Second class I attended was Mrs. Yocam's third grade where a variety of technology projects were in process including Polar keynotes and for those that have completed that project and had it evaluated were beginning their writing about themselves to be put in a product that looks like a newspaper! The All About Me project is in progress.I will post one when they are complete. Mrs. Atkins will be having a lesson on biographies in library this week as reinforcement.


Third class I attended was Mrs. Gilleys fifth grade.
Beginning with a Brain Pop movie on Erosion watched by all using her laptop, promethean board as a screen and surround sound.
After the movie was completed, she opened the promethean and set to activote mode.
Back to laptop projected with Brain Pop quiz and read question and choices for answers. Then kids voted for the correct answer on the "activote eggs". Click on activote icon to get a graphed result of the student vote. Teacher then goes back to brain pop quiz to see what the correct answer is. You get immediate feedback from brain pop! A really fun way to assess.
The activotes are saved to an excel spreadsheet so this can be used for a grade.
Activote eggs are assigned to kids by number.
Wow...
this is a summary of my Tuesday at Obee, a 21st century school! And then Wednesday came......
