Except the next board was a cloth-covered bulletin board.MHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-55342206288277802011-04-11T16:56:02.552-05:002011-04-11T16:56:02.552-05:00Don't lump interactive white boards in with cl...Don't lump interactive white boards in with clickers. IWBs seem to be primarily good for enhancing presentations. Clickers, on the other hand, are all about getting students more actively engaged in the learning process.Derek Bruffhttp://derekbruff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-20596549032272073292011-04-07T21:45:31.372-05:002011-04-07T21:45:31.372-05:00I've seen some attempts to mix the best of bot...I've seen some attempts to mix the best of both worlds.

Most have no idea how to annotate a text so it's important to model this essential skill for them. <br /><br />Smart ideas is great for diagramming arguments. With a minimal amount of practice (less than an hour) you'll be able to easily diagram arguments of great complexity (or have the students do it) and it's a lot easier to move pieces of evidence around. <br /><br />The problem is that Smart has no idea how good the technologies they have are, and market to the lowest common denominator.
