#CFISDchat is a weekly chat run by Cypress-Fairbanks ISD educators and guest moderators. Join us for discussion on various education topics and grow your #PLN!
Hi, I'm Mindy. I'm an ELAR CCIS at Truitt. I am also currently teaching 2 NAC Reading classes, so I'm back in the classroom as teacher of record for the first time in 5 years. I'm comfy with tech, but excited to learn more ways to use our awesome equipment! #CFISDchat

Kandace Blowey, AAS @salyardsms. Jumping in late from soccer practice. I love technology! And I love how Ts utilize it as a tool in learning. Excited to be back #CFISDchat#WeAreSalyards#Swashbengal
A1: I don't have my own classroom right now, but I have had the privilege of watching panels go into many classrooms and loved seeing how it excites and engages the students. #cfisdchat
A1: When I was in @ConroeISD and taught MS ELAR, we rec'd Promethean panels w/our textbook adoption. GAME CHANGER. My Ss loved being able to write on & annotate over images and use the cool tools #activinspire offered. It changed my approach to teaching. 💯#cfisdchat
A1 even though I don’t have my own classroom I have seen amazing things in classrooms around the district! Interactivity with students writing on the board showing what they know. #cfisdchat
A1: I don’t have a Prometheus panel, but it has changed the game for many of our teachers. It’s clearer and easy to use. Teachers have been super creative in what they show and utilize its features to make small and big impacts. #CFISDchat#WeAreSalyards#Swashbengal
#cfisdchat@cfsdchat@CyFairEdTech The Promethean Panels have definitely allowed Ss and Ts the flexibility to do more interactive lessons more engaging!! The possibility is endless with the point of touch!
A1 Ss are able to use it for stations! They are able to interact with the board. My favorite was using Google Earth with the Ss to look at environmental changes over time #cfisdchat
Angie Buck - 8th grade history @salyardsms - I don't have a panel yet so I'll be watching the feed tonight hoping to be able to use some of these suggestions in the future! #cfisdchat#WeAreSalyards
#cfisdchat A1 I dont have a classroom but it is so exciting to see students and teachers using the Technology provided by the 2014 bond! Lots of engagement!
A1 and #CFISDchat. As a classroom teacher I enjoyed being able to illustrate images in color, and explain as I drew. My students always loved the interactive games or lessons during rotations or when they could use it to teach or present their own materials.

A#: I don’t have one since I don’t have a classroom but I do help teachers learn to integrate theirs into instruction. Changes the whole dynamic of the classroom #cfisdchat
I have seen a lot of elementary teachers using ActivInspire to get the kids interacting, as well as, HS teachers using it to write over top their resources #cfisdchat@LearnPromethean

A1- being able to integrate apps in the classroom! And being able to expand on a thread of interest on our teaching topic, if we don’t know something we can look it up instantly where the whole class can be involved. #cfisdchat
A2: You can also find so many premade flipchart resources for ActivInspire on the Promethean website ClassFlow, great place to get ideas for student stations! #cfisdchat@LearnPromethean
A2 @CFISDKeith and @KirkElementary we saw students solving math problems and using drag and drop. @stefharris2 had created awesome interactive activities with magic eraser and pulling answers from a hat! Students were loving it!❤️ #CFISDchat

#cfisdchat@cfsdchat@CyFairEdTech ActivInspire tools can be used to personalize the learning with all the customizable tools it has to offer... annotation, spotlights, the templates and so much more!!!
A3: oooh, #Classflow is an even bigger game changer. Having the ability to create an impromptu check point that Ss can submit via ANY web enabled device is...amazing...honestly, being able to have clear evidence that Ss either "get it" or don't....GAME CHANGER ×2!! #cfisdchat
A2. I have been very impressed with how many math teachers use this software as second nature. They seem to have the menu and its many features memorized. Most swear by it. #CFISDchat
A1: I just received a Promethean panel a couple of weeks ago and my students and I are loving it! So easy to use, love that the height can instantly be adjusted, and my students buy into anything I pull up on it! #POPEPride#CFISDchat
A3: My favorite use for #Classflow aside from being used in the classroom with Students was when admin would model usage with their teachers! I loved seeing teachers being engaged in their staff meetings with this interactive tool! It transformed interactions! #CFISDchat
A3: ClassFlow changes your classroom from a sit and get situation to an interactive student lead discussion. You get real time feedback about your students' understanding. Takes the guesswork out of teaching! #cfisdchat
A4: Learning how to use it through @LearnPromethean webinars or other teachers in district using it in that capacity would be very helpful! It would also be beneficial to learn about how to get started by pulling resources from Classflow Marketplace! #cfisdchat
A3 The @cfisdmath department has created lessons in ClassFlow and teachers are using them to create discourse between students and allow them to show their thinking. Starting to think about ways it can be incorporated in a BL environment. #CFISDchat
A5: I would start with the easy to follow video resources on https://t.co/qpCZ0JEU9I. Then I would go to YouTube or Twitter and see how other teachers are using the tools! #cfisdchat@LearnPromethean
A4: I see Ts using their panel primarily as a projector instead of a student-centered station. Perhaps bc they must be connected via their tchr tool? So maybe an additional device that could be connected? #cfisdchat
A3: I love using the different ClassFlow Activities! The memory and matching games are great for extension activities and vocabulary review! I use them for Science and @PCIEducation Environmental Print on the daily! #POPEPride#CFISDchat
A5: all new Ts should go thru a session during which ALL their classroom tools are being modeled: Promethean Panel as a stu center, Lightspeed system as 2-way T-->S communication, and their 7 or 8 Ss devices used collaboratively. #cfisdchat
A5: yes! Teamwork make the dreamwork! And you'll be able to get the ins and outs from teachers who have fought those battles and learned tips and tricks to overcome the challenges! Great idea :) #cfisdchat
A5: Training from the @CyFairEdTech or @lauratxrose on simple and easy ways to integrate the amazing technology into your classroom seemlessly! #cfisdchat

A4: I use the ClassFlow activities on the Promethean panel as a student station but apparently I need to take a look at the ActiveInspire pre-made resources! #POPEPride#CFISDchat
A5: Reach out to other teachers who use it regularly! We truly are each other’s best resources! The interactive workshops at the Berry Center during the August staff development week are also the bomb! #POPEPride#CFISDchat
A4 With only 8 student devices, I use the panel as an extra device. It’s nice to make smaller groups. Also, it’s a great incentive. Everyone wants to be the group that gets the big screen! #CFISDchat#WeAreSalyards#DeadMenTellNoTales
A6: I use ClassFlow, Zoom (for morning announcements), Interactive Power Points, and the Windows Media Player (to show social skills DVDs) on the daily. #POPEPride#CFISDchat
#cfisdchat Huge thank you to @MrMattCampbell for making this chat happen tonight! I'm ready to show @CyFairISD Ts how they can get on twitter & learn from peers! Keep sharing the ways you use your panel, be sure to tag @LearnPromethean DM me if you want training on your campus!
