InterwriteWorkspace and YouTube

Today I derived the Quadratic Formula for my students in class.  I promised them I would do some sort of pencast later and post it, so I told them not to take notes on it.

I ended up using my eInstruction Mobi and pen to write on the Interwrite Workspace software.   Interwrite Workspace is also from eInstruction, and it has a built-in tool to record video and audio!  It worked really well! I love the fact you can see color and also my mouse movement, in case I want to refer back to something I already wrote.

The software saves the video as a .avi file, and so I uploaded it quickly to YouTube so my student could access it easily.  I also posted a link to the video on my website.

I am really enjoying having a variety of tools available to use to record part of a lesson or to write examples that I want my students to view again later when they are working on their homework.

 

First Day of (real) Student Participation!

April 1, 2010 Mobi, Student participation, Technology 3 comments

Today I brought a couple of Mobis with me to class!

I always give the students problems to do throughout the class, but instead of me writing out the solutions,  I had students volunteer to write them on the Mobis!
(yes, I got their written permission to post their photos)

It was such a fun experience for them, and for me!   They really got a good laugh trying to learn to write on the Mobi, while looking at the board, but you can see they did really well!

I am hoping to get at least one more Mobi so I can do some group work, having each group post their solutions.

They wrote on the board better than I did! 🙂

I recently got a set of CPS Clickers and have been learning how to use them on my own (while I wait until I have formal training next week).   My students know I have the clickers and ask me every day if they get to use them!  Hopefully soon!   They have been very easy to set up and play with!    I might just take a stab at using them in my classes before the training!

 

Group Work in Math

Mobi Stack

Group work in class tomorrow!

I am charging 2 more Mobis today to try out in class tomorrow.   Should have gotten the 3-pack charger!  oh well  :  }    I am excited to try out the feature in the eInstruction Interwrite Workspace software where you can split up the workspace into sections for each Mobi to write in.

SplitScreen

You can split the screen between Mobis

This will be perfect for group work!  I can hand each group a Mobi and have them solve the same problem and post their solutions.   Every group will have a chance to see how the other groups approached it – all at the same time!   VERY exciting technology!   I can’t wait to see how it transforms my classroom tomorrow!!
