Assignment #2

Smart Board Presentation

During this presentation I will use:
1. The clickers so the students can respond to answers
2. A times table that gives you the multiples of any number you enter

NET Standards for Teacher
Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:

a. design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
b. develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources.
d. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.

This meets the standards because since I could not download a previously made activity I made my own, based off of one. I designed it for the students to help them learn the concepts of multiplication and to use the technology to better engage them in the learning and make sure all the students are listening. I can also use it as an assessment to see how the students are doing and make sure I have not confused or lost any of them in the process.

NET Standards for Students
Technology Operations and Concepts
Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students:

a. understand and use technology systems.
b. select and use applications effectively and productively.
c. troubleshoot systems and applications.
d. transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies.

This meets the standards in my presentation because the students have to know how to use the clickers to answer the questions I have posted in my presentation. Also, the interactive table I have inserted in my presentation the students will need to know how to use the Smart Board technology to get the program to work and compute the multiples for them.

An interactive white board would very much improve learning in the classroom. It is very engaging and if I love to play with it as a college student I am sure the students will enjoy using it even more than I do. They may not even realize they are learning as they are using the white board, but every activity done will teach them something. Also, this is a good way to help student remember what they learned. If they can connect what they learned to an activity it is easier to remember and solidify it in their heads. They will have a connection for later when they need to recall the skill they learned. Also, the Smart Board offers so many new ways to teach to students and I can do assessments all the time to make sure I do not lose any of the students while I am teaching which will make sure they are all learning and understanding.
