What does this mean for you?
…your students?
The Activ classroom was built
with students’ engagement
in mind.
Virtual Learning Center “Promethean Class" March 16, 2009 via Flickr, Creative Commons Attribution. How do you apply this
to your classroom?
Step #1: try.
students love technology
they see it everywhere Coba “Game Boy vs. PSP" March 10, 2006 via Flickr, Creative Commons Attribution.
it is their entertainment
use that to your advantage.
Start by opening a flipchart.
create your own…
Or look on Promethean Planet  for shared resources…
and ActivTips.
Marisol might even ask: “How do you do that?  It’s amazing!”
Step #2: Set a goal.
Start with 1 goal in mind.
“I will create two flipchart pages each day for a week.”
to create a page…
If something isn’t right, delete it!
Stick to your goal,
and you’ll have your kids saying…
“I want a turn on the board!”
Step #3: simplicity.
It doesn’t have to be over the top.
Start with a colorful background.
like this
Soon Serenity will say…
“You have the coolest backgrounds!”
add a little text.
manipulate it just so…
and repeat.
Encourage your kids to come up to the board.
Learn with them.
Step #4: Experiment.
Kids love new things…
try to add one new skill a week.
Try adding some pictures…
like this…
Or using some shapes…
like this…
Before you know it…
Your flipcharts will even have containers…
like this!
And Amadi will be saying… “I can’t wait to see what comes next!”
Active
How will your classroom change?
How will this impact student learning?
The possibilities are endless.
And it all starts with…
YOU.
