Thinking of resources...

I have many resources that need updating and this is the opportunity to give those good old paper sorting activities a new dimension...Although students enjoy them most of the time, now that I have access to an Interactive Whiteboard I can start producing some interactive resources using different software. I'm thinking of using hot potatoes to convert the paper-based matching exercise. I also would like to try using either debug or wink or something similar (could use smart board software too I guess) to record a demonstration and link the resource to the Scheme of Work. I could play the demo on the projector in class and it would be useful as students could revisit the demo if need be. I am thinking of planning my lesson with one of my level2 BTEC First. They have shown great interest using the interactive whiteboard on Monday, they were almost fighting to get to the board and even the usually very quiet student was engaged and eager to interact with the board. Technology definitely motivate all my students and I have seen dramatic changes in their behaviour in class when using interactive resources. I am convinced that it will make a difference not only on their attendance but also on their achievement. Using IWs is also my supported experiment as well as my CPD research report and although I didn't start very well due to lack of confidence and room allocation I am looking forward to planning every lesson I teach with the magic board!
I look forward to Thursday's session!
