The first of many optional meetings is always going to be a little sparse.
This session I showed everyone how to use the SMART Board in Kwina classroom 113. I covered the SMART Notebook software, a PPT-ish software that is designed to be used with the board specifically, though you can create content for it on your desktop. Click here to download a 30 day free trial.
In addition, you can also download lessons already created by other instructors at http://exchange.smarttech.com
Though SMART boards are highly used in K12 education, they do appear in higher education and vocational training, usually tied to teacher education. They allow for tactile student interaction with content and more dynamic presentation of content by the instructor.
We also discussed possible topics for the next meeting, which includes:
- Mock Learning
- Online Learning Design and Moodle Use
