Exit slip 10/14/10

New thinking that I took away from class involved the Smart Board. We had to sign in my writing our name in the box and then dragging it into another area. What I learned was that you have to write your name first, put the writing tool back in its place, and then click on your name and drag it. I also learned that once one person writes something on the Smart Board, it becomes an object that one is capable of dragging. The second new thinking that was brought to my attention is the iPad. I have heard of the iPad, but I had no idea what it looked liked. I thought that it was something similar to iPods, but the device is big!
                Another new thinking that I took away from class today was when preparing for chapter discussion. I found that it is important to prepare groups prior to the class discussion. However, when preparing groups, it is also an important part to specify group locations within the class. Also, when it comes to preparing for chapter discussion, it is especially beneficial to “walk” the student’s through where to find presentation. The last new thinking that I took away from class today involves SCRATCH. I learned multiple things which will guide me in my iRLO. I think the main key thing to take away from beginning SCRATCH is to make all the sprites and objected needed for my iRLO. I learned that it will be more beneficial than making the sprites in the middle of making my iRLO.
