FlipChart Fundamentals
The interactive whiteboard was really fun to use. I really enjoyed being able to play with the different tools before we did our flipchart to help with how each activity could be implemented into a lesson. For example the clickers. They were helpful when it came to planning our flipchart because that would be a great way to do a quiz. I had fun using the whiteboard also because you can experience some of the problems that may happen before you use it for the classroom. Such as the clickers. Not everyone's linked to the whiteboard that could be a problem because then you are not sure if everyone did answer or participate.
Creating the flipchart was hard at first. It was hard to come up with an idea. Previously I had a teacher that had given me some lesson plans, etc. So we decided to use one of those and tweak it a little such as adding activites to the flipchart. I think that it was a good idea to use his powerpoint because when we become teacher sometimes you will pull ideas from other teachers. We created an activity which the students have to write out the preamble word for word. That was more of a review. Most students in high school have already had experience with memorizing the preamble, I had to in 8th grade. The other activities we did pertained to what was being taught in the lesson itself.
I did like the outcome of this project however it did start out stressful!
