Notes and Exit Slip

Notes:
Presentation comments
-Do not try to talk over students. It will not work at that time, or in the future. 25 students are easily able to talk over me, if it continually happens students will learn that they can get away with it. Try to give check points like "30 more seconds", "10more seconds" so they will begin to quiet down.
-As the teacher, wait until the end of a discussion to interject. If I interject too soon, the discussion will be over. Students will rarely disagree or confront the teacher in a public forum (the discussion).
-student to student conversations and discussions. How do we get the students to carry the conversation so the teacher does not have to interject as much.
My Question- change "help" to learning, students are evaluated by how they learn not how they pay attention. specify ADD or ADHD. -specify secondary. science?

IWB lesson- look into the SMART exchange stuff. make sure to give any credit where it is due.
where do we get graphics? in notebook softwear. use the "gallery" picture tab.
-HAVE and idea before i go to ask jeff for help, or he will not have an idea either.
by thursday, submit a rough draft version of the IWB lesson. peers will give feed back, and i will have time to revise it.

EXIT SLIP~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am especially interested in working on my classroom management skills. I learned a lot about the do's and don'ts of how to manage classroom volume. Also, i have a better understanding about how much a teacher can influence a discussion. I can make or break the discussion depending on when/ how i participate in it.
We are in a transition period between using paper with limited computer use to a system of integrated computer applications. This seems tough, BUT we have always struggled with technology advances in the classroom. It is nothing new, lets embrace it this time.
