Reflection on an observation.

Last week on the 25th I went as part of a group to observe different teachers at Lake Washington HS.  I had the privilege of observing a physics teacher who had a very good grasp of using technology in her class.  She used the active board more in a power point capacity but when it came to drawing diagrams that illustrated her points she was always using the board and very knowledgeably.  It was good to see someone was using those, we were told that every classroom has one of those boards but less than thirty percent of teachers use them for anything more than a screen to project on.  It made the presentation more clear than writing on the regular board, for one thing you could see it better, and for another thing it made it a little more accessible (the lesson I mean) what she was talking about when you could see it clearly.

  1. Dear Jordan,

    That's great that you got the opportunity to observe a teacher using an active board properly. My senior year in high school, we were in a brand new school with active boards and my teachers NEVER used them, except as a projector. Hopefully, by seeing the boards used properly and learning how to use them, we will be able to as well when we teach.
