As a teacher, I enjoy the fact that I can get instant feedback on what they understand. The students stay engaged through the different modes of assessment whether it is multiple choice, true or false, or the text feature." - Joanna Yujuico, 4th Grade Teacher Formative Assessment Technology Used in Preschool-12th Grade Interactive Whiteboards allow students and teachers to engage in lessons in a whole new way by turning the whiteboard into an electronic touch screen, which syncs with the computer to display lessons, learning games, educational programs, and more. ActiVotes and ActivExpressions are distributed to each student at the beginning of a lesson. These personal response devices allow students to submit their answers to quizzes and assessments electronically in real-time so the teacher can gauge the class��� understanding of a concept during a lesson. High Definition Document Cameras enable teachers to display a textbook, document, or object up on the 78��� interactive whiteboard for the whole class to see. iPads are being piloted in several Fairmont classrooms this year and will be adopted 100% at the high school level in a 1:1 iPad program next year. IPads are powerful tools in education and are being used to engage students and enhance lessons in a multitude of ways. Apple TV syncs with the iPad and allows the teacher to share the display from his or her iPad or any student���s iPad on the interactive whiteboard for the class to see. Using this tool, teachers can walk throughout the classroom while giving a lesson from the iPad instead of having to stay up at the board or by the computer.
