It's TEI Tuesday!! Time for a new TEI tip!
Attached is a flipchart with sample math TEI
questions for grades 2-6. These questions are aligned with quarter one
math SOLs. This flipchart opens in ActivInspire. ActivInspire is a
wonderful, interactive program that can be used even if you don't have a
Promethean Board.
Perhaps my best tip this week is my recent experience
with using a wireless mouse. This very handy tool allows you complete
freedom to walk around and observe your students
when you are presenting information on your computer with your LCD
projector. Of course, I believe one day we will have rooms equipped with
interactive whiteboards.....but, until then, why not purchase an
inexpensive wireless mouse? I bought a $12 mouse and it worked great
(minus the few times it dropped) My coordination has since improved as I
"walk and mouse". If you happen to be in the computer lab, you have the
added bonus of being able to see what your students are doing on their
computer screens, without being tied to the "teacher computer".
Using a wireless mouse, you can project these sample
items and navigate through the flipchart. Try passing the mouse
to students for them to answer. Of course, you can also recreate these
items with paper, however, I believe it is always good practice to have
them see the formatting as it appears on testing programs.
I am always happy for feedback after your use a flipchart.
