My PLN

I attended the SMART training workshop that Kyle held, along with the rest of the members of Cohort D. This workshop focused on teaching us how to use a SMART Board and how to use the SMART Notebook software. How would a classroom teacher use this information for instructional purposes you ask? Boy-oh-boy is this knowledge ever helpful for the classroom teacher, ESPECIALLY if you just so happen to have a SMART Board in your classroom! The SMART Board and SMART Notebook software can be used to create interactive lessons for your class or they can be used just to create a presentation with no interactiveness whatsoever. Its all up to you. I recommend making a more interactive lesson, seeing as the main emphasis in most of our classes has been constructivism. I chose this workshop for my PLN for two reasons. Reason one: golly am I ever going to use this knowledge in my future classroom (provided I have a SMART Board in my classroom). Reason two: this is the only workshop I have attended thus far. And thats that!
