Q1: I know that I started out w/the original SmartB gen, the overhead projector! But w/the SPhone we can now bring that to the Ss

A1: Smart board gen is geared towards whole group instruction and mobile gen more personalized learning. You still need both.

A1: In the
#smartboard
setting the teacher and board are center stage. With
#mobile
devices each student can consume & produce

A1: IWB are still rooted (in a way) in the ‘sage on the stage’ teaching. A gen. of Ts are having to adapt to ind. devices.

A2: IOW, the workbook was turned into text/problems on a screen. No change in the manner of teaching needed.

A2: Differentiation and learning tailored to their individual needs is always best scenario. Not everyone learns in the same way

A2 if the teachers using the SmartBoard right the students would be up and active and engaged

A2: As Ts, we want to encourage independent, critical, and, at times, lateral thinking. Workbooks/canned programs can’t do that.

Ts can find options to personalize their PD, why can't Ss get that option?

A3: 1 key element would be to allow Ts to observe those Ts who are on that path. You can talk it up, but seeing in action is best.

A3: Plus, meet the Ts where they are and encourage them along. This devolves back to the admin team & leadership.

A3: Seems like getting the admins on board would be a key - at least in Arlington ISD where I teach.

A3: +, the vision should be shared by and espoused by Ts. Bottom up more effective than top down.
