Smart WhiteBoard



Boy! Was I so surprised to see my co-teacher's TeacherTube video posted at The DC Education Blog. We've always admired each other's technology skills, and have always shared our knowledge and expertise in integrating technology in the classroom. I call him my tech guru.
.
Yesterday, he dropped by my classroom to let me know that he already found a way on how to create a cheap interactive smartboard. I said, "will you make me one?" ...and as what a teacher would tell his student, he replied "I will show you how".
.
We went to the staff lounge as all our computers in our classrooms were no yet hooked up. But another teacher was there. Disappointed, we said we'll meet again today.
.
First thing this morning, before 8:00am, before anybody else could use the computer in the staff lounge, he showed me this exact video. I was sooo impressed! Excitedly, I asked him again "will you make me one?!" Again he replied, "I will show you how". I already have the materials at home except for the bluetooth pen and the software.
.
I did not forget to proudly mention his discovery during our departmental meeting with my principal this morning when one of my co-teachers was asking about a Promethean (another interactive whiteboard). I understand that our school does not have the access yet for additional funds. This cheap interactive whiteboard is going to be a hit, especially that my school is now a high tech campus already. You should come and visit our "Classroom of the Future" when it's ready!
