21:31:18 charbeck -> once again the hair commecial.  and they found 2 friends and so on and so on and so on
21:31:37 Vicki Davis -> But they will come along when they see the excitement in your classroom.
21:31:42 cheryl oakes wow2 -> Jeanne S. just grab your floaties for when you get tired, it is okay
21:31:43 Vicki Davis -> It takes time.
21:31:57 Vicki Davis -> When your kids go to the next class and no longer have you and complain, other teachers will begin to listen.

21:47:22 Vicki Davis -> Perhaps my room is truncated.

21:47:59 Durff -> SMARTboards?
21:48:00 sendkathy -> You know I like Promethean
21:48:08 Durff -> we need training!
21:48:16 sendkathy -> I think that it really matters how many resources they have for you
21:48:17 sharonp -> I do find the SB to be teacher-centred
21:48:22 charbeck -> I love the notebook
21:48:24 Durff -> same difference
21:48:24 sroseman -> Smartboards are being used successfully here..with good training
21:48:31 sharonp -> but use  mine just about every day
21:48:31 Durff -> what i don't have
21:48:53 Durff -> can we get training online?
21:48:54 charbeck -> my room is too large for a smartboard
21:48:54 sendkathy -> It's central in y class for students
21:49:09 sharonp -> and we took a survey - something like close to 90% of our students said it helped them with the learning process
21:49:15 Jennifer Wagner -> LOL -- chris -- too large????  or you mean visability??
21:49:16 Simon -> My school got 11 SMARTBoards in Sept to run a pilot program for our board, still waiting for PD on it.
21:49:19 Durff -> you have a room? I want a room
21:49:42 Karen Janowski -> what are some of the more innovative ways you are using electronic whiteboards?
21:49:48 charbeck -> I have a double classroom shaped like a hotdog.  Long and skinny and hard to configure
21:49:49 Durff -> why do you have to be at the board?
21:49:55 sharonp -> I like the way PowerPoint integrates with it
21:50:01 sendkathy -> The voting is great
21:50:08 sendkathy -> auto assess
21:50:09 Vicki Davis -> What do you use kathy?
21:50:17 sendkathy -> they love it and can graph
21:50:26 cheryl oakes wow2 -> the new smartboard 600i with the projector built in
21:50:26 Vicki Davis -> I think real time group assessment is really a great way to go.
21:50:27 sendkathy -> kindergarteners understand the graph
21:50:28 alicebarr -> I have a hard time with it as it seems to encourage teachers to stay up front in the room
21:50:34 Karen Janowski -> do any of you record your instruction for kids that need the review at home?
21:50:50 Durff -> I never stay up front
21:50:56 Vicki Davis -> I've seen the prometheans used with younger classrooms and the smart board with the younger classrooms.
21:51:03 sharonp -> exactly alice, which is my complaint - and I am in a laptop environment - only use a fraction of the time<
21:51:04 sendkathy -> record it via audio?
21:51:07 Jennifer Wagner -> thanks Karen ---  I shall skype you
21:51:09 Durff -> I want to record
21:51:17 sendkathy -> So does Promethean
21:51:27 charbeck -> That would be helpful
21:51:38 alicebarr -> We have 1 smartboard and it hasn't changed the way teacher reaches. Back to the students all the time
21:52:01 alicebarr -> teacher teaches
