[CALIBK12] Technology in the Classroom

[LL Blackwell]

Regarding classroom responders, my school is currently piloting Quizdom and
it rocks! I've used both the games for review and the paper-based test
function. You can have it call on students for you, you can see who's
answered and who hasn't, it's pretty amazing. I use it at least three times
a week (I'm still partially in the classroom, so it's for my English
instruction, but it would be great for library stuff, too).

  A friend of mine is doing some research on how to use some of these items
in the classroom. Has anyone had experience using these technologies?
Suggested brands? Any good resources for application in a classroom setting?


  Voice enhancers
  Document camera
  Airliner slates (fancy wireless mouse that you can draw with)
  Classsoom Responders (kids click A, B, C, D, E as a response to a question
and multiple choice format - get instant data)
  Mimios & SMART Boards (I believe their site has lots of application ideas)



  I already suggested Library Learning 2.0 to him...:)


  Thanks!
