Some things that I took away from class today included our debriefing of Chapter six discussion. In my further discussion I will keep in mind to have a teacher voice as well as filtering out filler words. A second thing that I would keep in mind for further discussion is considering different ways to share out, such as jigsaw. Having jigsaw grouping will also allow us to to expand our thinking within different groups. Another thing that I would consider is to provide a summary of the discussion. Providing a summary will be an effective way to allow the students to know that the discussion is coming to an end.
Some other things that I took away from class included tips and tricks about the SmartBoard. The tips and tricks shared were very helpful. The tip that was the most benefiticial is knowing how to lock items within a SmartBoard lesson. When preparing my SmartBoard lesson, I became very frustrated that items were not locking, but now I know how to lock the items. A trick that I learned and thought was beneficial was knowing how to clone items to the infinite level. This trick will save me time in cloning myself. The tips and tricks presented in class were very helpful and good tips for the SmartBoard. Another thing that I learned about using SmartBoard is refering to color and text. Sometimes I forget about the color and size of text because most of the time it appears to be the right size on the computer I am using. I now know to keep the size and color of text in mind because the screens can vary in brightness.
During this class, I gained a better insight on how to make my future discussions better as well as understanding more tips and tricks obtaining to the SmartBoard
