| Question: What percentage of board use is for
demonstrations, where the teacher |
60% for demonstration |
| At Middle School, teacher uses about 25% of time. Seems to be fairly
effective. High School barely uses theirs, but have had little training. |
| Probably 95%. I find it very effective. I used to use a large monitor for demos, and would have to say things like, "See where the mouse pointer is? I am moving it around so you can see it." Now, I find that I can demonstrate much faster and the kids are able to follow instructions more effectively. |
| 90% (always use with laptop attached)-extremely effective |
| Right now, teacher demos and modeling takes up most of Smart Board use,
depending upon who is using the board and what their comfort level is. Most teachers have students come up and interact as they demonstrate. |
| 90% Very effective |
| 50% of board use is for demonstration. I feel it is effective because it is large enough for all the students to see. Using TV's with convertors or computer screens is not useful in a large group setting. It also allows the teacher to be facing the class with the screen to the side, rather than a back to class and face in computer. |
| About 65% of my board us is with me at the board. It's beneficial for
applications where I need to point out special points or getting me away from the computer for presenting |
| About 80% of the time, teachers use the board. It is very effective, as
we have no other set up to display a computer monitor (screen, etc) |
| 90 and excellent. |
| Question: What percentage of board use involves students at the board and/or computer, actively involved in its use? How effective do you think the board is in this context? |
30 - 40% - students at the board, interaction. This is very motivational for students because they get to 'touch the board.' It is also a great way to get everyone involved in some way as a group or team. |
| Middle School about 75% of use is student-directed, presenting power point |
| The other 5%. Kids like to use the board for presentations of reports prepared with HyperStudio or PowerPoint. Very effective. |
| 10%-very effective but due to size of SmartBoard (portable one) in relation to size of our classrooms (small)-difficult for kids to be moving around. |
| I think student interaction is one of the best uses of the board. Students pay better attention to your demonstrations if they know they might be called upon to come up and click or write something. The K's use it for eye-hand coordination as a full class. They lower the board to their level and then touch and drag items around the screen (on java games, etc...ex: snowman sequencing or dressing, etc...) |
| 0% |
| 50% of our usage is for student interaction. Probably the best part is the hook, or excitement of watching the board respond to the touch of your finger. Our 7th grade teacher uses it for student diagraming. Have you ever heard kids ask to do more of it??? |
| About 20% is student so far. Although I'm to the point in my curriculum where they will be doing more presentations. With this focus I believe the board is very motivational to students and they do a much better job presenting away from the computer. |
| I would say 20% is use by students at the board. They love it. We have found it is particularly good with special ed students, who seem to love to feel the board, the interactivity, and seem to pay attention more. When our board was new, I would give 5 lunch passes out for each grade level every day, for students to just come in after lunch and play with the board. I always had a waiting list, students loved it. It became too time-intensive for me to keep up this, though. |
| 10% and it is very effective, I should use it more to actively engage the students |
