The Wonderful Thing That is the Promethean Board!

I have gotten to use technology a few times as I have taught. The Promethean board has been very helpful to me as I have taught reading and writing. In an interactive writing lesson we were writing about how to make a paper airplane. The students demonstrated how they make an airplane and then we brainstormed as a class what we should write to tell someone how ot make the airplane. When we decided on the title and the first sentence we would write, the students got to come up and write their sentence up on the promethean board. They really enjoyed getting to write on the board and loved that the font was in green because it was St. Patrick's day. They pay a lot more attention to the neatness of their handwriting when they write on the board I noticed. The board was great because everyone could see so well! i really enjoy using the promethean board and plan on using it for many activities in the future.
