The Value of Visuals

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Creating visuals for use with the SMART Board (or any interactive whiteboard) is invaluable to all students, especially those with learning challenges or our ESL students. Many free quality pre-created visuals are available for you to download when you Google: Jack Hartmann Power Points. The book, Digital Footsteps also give many more tips for using and developing visuals for the elementary classroom. Songforteaching.com is a great website for discovering a variety of music, books, and more teaching stuff! They will be selling Digital Footsteps, in e-book format soon!

Thanks to all who attended any of my 4 sessions at the Riviera! It was a joy to share my passion for the implementation of the: SMART Board, document camera (ELMO), iPod, & the uses for digital photography in the elementary classroom. What a blessing it was to see so many educators & administrators desiring to step into the 21st Century with technology. This is a must in order to more effectively reach this Net Gen of young people. I would love to come share with your staff. Call (863) 370-9279 for details.
