Today I began my dyad, or in my case, a tri-ad, since there are 3 of us from my cohort in this 4th grade class. We are here for the next two months, basically to give us a view of a different school district and how it is run. My assigned main placement is in the Everett District, for my tri-ad I am in North Shore District and let me tell you.... there is a big difference!!
While I noticed a lot of differences, the main one is the use of the SmartBoard! I had not seen this in the actual classroom and I was amazed! It made me realize how the children of today have such knowledge of technology and can interact so easily with it. The students were so engaged and they want to learn!!
Although, when talking about these Smart boards to a professor it was mentioned that yes it is amazing, but for the same amount of money, if not a little less, wouldn't it be great for each kid to receive an iPad instead? That way everyone in class could interact with technology instead of watching just the teacher interact with the board? That really made me think and I have to say..... I agree!
Here's a little link in case you've never seen the Smartboard.
