Interactive White Board

     The interactive white boards project was one of my favorite projects this semester! I enjoyed learning ways to create pages where students are able to come up and interact with the lesson. My lesson was a 4th grade lesson on the solar system. In my project I had pages where students could erase to reveal answers. I also had a page where students could drag the names of the planets and place them in numerical order. I think I will benefit from this tool greatly when I am a teacher.  I am excited to make more of these types of lessons to use in my own classroom one day!

Inspiration


     Above is a picture of the map I created using inspiration. Using inspiration was really fun! It was cool to create a map. I enjoyed getting to find pictures for it. I used the same lesson that I used to create my interactive white board project. The information is based off of a 4th grade science curriculum.  I think this tool would be great for older students. It could really help them connect ideas when they're studying and learning new topics. I'm not sure how well this tool would work with younger students. I am not sure that they would be able to follow all of the connections. If I were to use this tool with younger students it would have to be very basic and easier to follow.
