Progress

This was a very exciting week. We got the Smartboard going!! The teachers and the kids have had so much fun experimenting with it. So many great ideas are bubbling up. We currently have one Smartboard and four projectors and so teachers are sharing the Smartboard. We think it will spend a day in each room. Already the teachers are looking for $$ to purchase more Smartboards so they don’t have to share as they are quickly seeing and imagining the potential benefits to student engagement and learning.

Some student comments during their first Smartboard experiences…

  • This could actually make learning fun!!
  • This is almost better than the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition)

We are only two weeks in and the UDL project is already shaking things up. Our official Kick off week is October 9th to 12th when we will be further investigating UDL theory and tools, and beginning to design lessons for our classrooms and to post for sharing with other teachers.
