Educational Technology at IU13

What is the general name for the Promethean or Smart boards?  IWB (Interactive White Board)  The name implies that one should use the Promethean Board in an interactive way.  How do you use your IWB?  Do you use it just like you did when you had a projector and pull down screen?  Do you use it as you did with an overhead transparency projector?  Or, are you using it as an interactive tool for students to engage and manipulate content?  Maybe your answer is that you use it in all of these ways!

Please make note of the following schedule for this year's Technology Integrator/Media Specialist's Meetings:

In the last couple of years many of our IU 13 districts have started 1:1 initiatives or are in the planning stages of 1:1.  Many of you have asked for a forum where everyone can share 1:1 progress, what's working, what's not working, best practices, and future planning ideas.  The first meeting has been scheduled this year on Nov. 8, 2013 from 8:30-10:30 am.  The invitation to join this meeting is open to all school districts who have begun 1:1 or is in the planning stages of 1:1.  Please consider attending whether you are a Tech Coach/Integrator, Online Coordinator, Tech Coordinator/Director, or any other teacher/administrator who is involved in the planning, preparation, and implementation process. Please bring all your questions, information, and topics you would like to explore.  We will schedule future meetings at this meeting. Don't forget to register on mlp.
