I felt like I was barely keeping my head above water here the last few weeks. Formal reading tests, conferences, and now state testing. With 2 out of the 3 behind me, I'm feeling better. I cannot believe March is almost over and I only have a few more months with my kiddos #willnotcry.
Now, I am very thankful that my principal loves technology! He is supportive of my whole blog/TpT thing, which I am so happy and appreciative of!
Then one of my teammates told him I made a website for third grade on weebly and he was excited I love technology so much.
I found out about IPEVO interactive whiteboard system soon after and a week later got one to pilot!
I can't wait to create new stuff for this! I also can't believe it turns anything into an interactive whiteboard. It worked on my wall when we first installed it! Look for more info on a blog post coming out tomorrow, the 22nd on Owl-Ways Be Inspired!
Then I had heard about Plickers and decided to test it out (it's free!).
This allows you to ask any questions you want and the kids rotate their card accordingly to answer A-D. We only used it one day and they were obsessed! This will be great for reviews or assessments!
I'm feeling blessed that my principal and superintendent love technology and are wanting it in all classrooms!
Thanks for the Plickers suggestion! I put it on my phone before we departed for spring break and we used it to vote on a movie to watch. It works great and the kids loved it! I can see myself using it to check for understanding after a lesson (I would just have to have the question and answers already set up)!
