Instruction for the flipchart

The newest project that the class is doing is the flipchart. The flipchart is an interactive way for students to get engaged in the class and learn the ins and outs of the flipchart. The class has been introduced to the concept of the SMARTBoard in general from the beginning of the semester. We have been able to see how the board works and recently we have been able to see examples of how to use the board in new and innovative ways so that the students will be able to interact, too. 

One helpful thing that I found from the instruction of the flipchart is how we were interacting with it before the assignment of making our own was even close to happening. We were able to get a taste of what the flipchart was like when we had to open part of the study guide for the midterm that was used with the flipchat. By doing this, I was able to see different methods to interact with the students to have them see the answers or have them write their own answers in the flipchart. I thought this aspect was extremely useful. 

If I could change something about the lessons, I would say that I would like to have more experience with the flipcharts prior to making our own. I did like how we have other examples of other student's flipcharts. It is helpful to see the different ways that they created theirs. I also think we should have more days to work on ours in class because it is so complicated to figure out some of the methods of the technology. Besides that I really enjoy it and would recommend it to a lot of upcoming teachers!
