It doesn't matter if you love them or hate them, if you have it, USE IT!
For some kids, touching it HELPS! Make the whiteboard their space!
Good Reasons To Use a Board
Kinesthetic Learning
Color Code, highlight,
rearrange, order, sort
Send Home or post on web
Main idea, summarize, cloze
large view of interactives
Tips of what you need to know on SB many of these are done as whole class or in centers
* Drag and drop activity for a class discussion, where the class makes the decisions on where things go. Can do thumbs up or thumbs down from class to make non-consensus decisions.
* This sort is on the website
* Teach people to get a screen shot. KIDS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS
* Dragging items. Have your students become comfortable doing this so they feel comfortable coming up in front of the class.
* Kids highlight important ideas
Sentences, words, or groups of words to work on sequencing, or creating sentences.
*Working with words for Main Idea and Summary for any content area. Students can highlight/underline. If you double tap on a specific word once in text format you can pull a specific word out of the passage. This will allow students to identify specific words for main idea that they can then use to write a main idea sentence.
* Ranking words. Use words from thesaurus for the word ___________. Rank them in order from good to bad. Categorize into three groups; Great, Good, Not Great, Don't Know (if they are unfamiliar with the word)
* Kids can do these and link to a class BLOG and then other groups can comment/compare with what they have done.
* If you use color coding, BE CONSISTENT. If you can be consistent with other grades, even better!
* Working with words as images. Kids brainstorm words for an idea. In group turn into word cloud. More important words stand out, less important words smaller. Use color to also group similar words. Take a screen shot to share on class BLOG.
* Web Tools- Visuwords
* Create word concept maps, or complete organizers
* Put an image up and have students drag labels over. Also could drag over animal adaptations, how/why and an organism uses a particular part of them.
* Kids can draw on maps the paths that someone or a group followed. REMEMBER the lines can move and be re-sized! EX: Battle of Gettysburg troop movements.
* Use images to sequence or tell a story.
* Students can take images or photos that they take and create an activity (labeling, sorting) to go with it.
*** Peer editing-NOT JUST COMMAS AND PERIODS. True editing. Works best in small groups. Protect the person who wrote it, we have no idea who wrote this. (maybe swap with a partner class) Kids touch and move things around the board.
* Collaborate to create, improve, or decide- Google Docs...
* Create a study guide together or a concept map.
* Brainstorm- easy to move things around
* Have something soft for students to pass around for whose turn it is to go up and share
Management Tips and Strategies
Center/Student Sidebar
All 4 one (all work for shared grade)
