After our group presentation today Professor Boyer explained a great strategy that I feel I will utilize in my classroom some day. The Jigsaw strategies consists of students being part of groups and discussing a single topic per group, then break up those groups and have the students teach/discuss with other groups about their topic.
We discussed the importance of locking items on our interactive whiteboard lesson. This is great to know how to do because students will accidently move objects that should not be moved if they are not locked in place. We learned about the infinite cloner which is another great trick to learn with the smart notebook program.
It was interesting that we touched on font and color choice for our lessons; it’s something that you never really think about but it’s extremely important. Boyer bought up an interesting rule, the 6x6 rule which means no more than 6 lines of text, each line consisting of 6 words per line when looking at a presentation/PowerPoint.
It’s great when we get to learn some of the tricks of smart notebook. I wish that we would spend a lot more time on the different tips and things we can use on this program, because we will be using this program a lot within our career, and a lot of us are brand new to this program.
