Subject: Excellent article on use of digital "smart" boards
 
From: Kevin Jarrett <kjarrett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

HI everyone,

There is an excellent article on page 484 of the February 2004 issue of
The Reading Teacher:

Teaching Tips
The digital whiteboard: A tool in early literacy instruction
Pamela A. Solvie
http://www.reading.org/publications/rt/rt_current.html

It focuses on how the author teaches reading using the digital whiteboard
in a primary school setting. It is excellent. Her writing is clear and
examples are vivid.

Unfortunately the article is not available online. I was given permission
to distribute copies to our teachers for their personal use only (there is
a request form on the website). They were very prompt in getting back to
me.

If you have these boards in your school and teachers are looking for ways
to use them, you will want to check this article out!

Hope this helps,

This is an excellent article - fortunately it is available online at the
smarterkids.org web site:
http://www.smarterkids.org/research/paper13.asp

Several other articles on the effectiveness of interactive whiteboards
in the classroom can also be found on this site.

I'm interested in hearing from anyone that uses ACTIVboards with
elementary students. Please send email directly to me off list - thanks.
