promethean

Hello Promethean teachers!

Here is a wiki for us to ask questions and post answers to Promethean questions. This will just be our campus, not the whole district. I thought you might like to have a place that you can go to for answers just for us.

If you would take a minute and click on the Notify Me tab, then choose You are monitoring "all changes". This way, you will be sent an email when someone posts to the wiki, and with one click you can respond to them and see the changes that they made to our page. If you know the answer to someone's question, go ahead and answer it. Your experience is very helpful to all of us.

To make changes to the page, you just click on "Edit this page" button. Then remember to click Save.

As always, I look forward to helping with any stage of this, Karen

Here is a Cool Writing site. It would be fun with a Promethean board!

PicLit

Wow, I just found something fun. The site is called PicLits. Here’s the link: http://www.piclits.com/viewpoem.aspx?PoemId=4799

There are various photographs to choose from, then you choose some words that are descriptive–or different parts of speach. The re is a word bank or you can write Freestyle. I love this. I am definitely going to send the link to my teachers. I do have a couple of questions, though.

1. Would all the pictures be appropriate for Elementary students? I’ll have to check this to see for sure. 2. I noticed that to sign up, you need an email address. Not all of our students have email. This may be a problem unless I show them how they can make a bogus email address. Which that in itself is not right. Hmmm.

Here is our ITS site devoted to Promethean Flipcharts. They have already been reviewed and should be useful. They are listed by the TEKS they address: http://rrisd-flipcharts.wikispaces.com/

This wiki is used by the ITS group to record the flipcharts we are using, and this is where we gather the flipcharts we will be reviewing. It also has an interesting history section of where we are in the roll-out of Promethean system. http://rrisd-icplan.wikispaces.com/
