active board and clickers

The training we received on the active board was an amazing experience. The man who came to train us was extremely helpful and was willing to answer all of my questions, even if they were small ones. I am really impressed with everything that the active boards are able to do. There are templates available for teachers and if you want to make your own you can do that also. the active board looked like a simple enough piece of technology that maybe even I could use it. the quick reference guide we received is very helpful. They really did a good job explaining things in the book. I really hope that I will have the benefit of using an active board in my classroom as a teacher.
Using the clickers was a very easy process. It give immediate feedback. it is a really easy way to assess and helps you to know where your students are. I like the variety of simplicity that comes along with the clickers. I like the idea that if you want to ask a question that you just thought of you are able to program it in without having to have the computer know what question you are going to ask. the clickers also allow every student to respond to your questions. that way they have to participate and it keeps everyone focused.
