IWB and Digital Diagrams

This week we started putting on the finishing touches on our Interactive White Boards.  I have completed mine and you can look at it by going to my personal website under the "Multiplying Binomials" tab. Or by clicking here.

Again, I have thoroughly enjoyed developing my flipchart.  I believe this would be an incredibly helpful tool in the classroom.  The students would certainly be intrigued by the format (i.e. using the Promethean Board).  The flipchart would also be very informational.

Also, this week, I created my Storybird.  Unfortunately, I did not create it with respect to mathematics.  But creating one was fun, nonetheless.  Storybird is an online tool that allows you to create story books using illustrations already on the website, which is the only drawback in my opinion.  Below is the embedded version of my book, One Adventurous Night.

We also began working on our Digital Diagrams.  The digital diagrams use Inspiration to be created and are very clean and simple to use.  You can create outlines, maps, and web charts.  The formats allow for a teacher to put things into categories and separate information by category.  Also, you can input notes into each bubble.  The notes would certainly be a great way to add great information that otherwise would not fit on the page.  You can also add links to direct students to more information.  Overall, I think this tool would be a great addition to the classroom.

I have completed my rough draft sketch and it is below.
