ITB works as a multifunctional tool: you can present text, images, audio, video, internet resources...
But you (or the students) can also INTERACT with the board - write answers to questions, drag and drop, draw, or play games.
Our task today is to explore the possibilities of SMART and Activ ITB software. The editor works intuitively, and some choices are similar to those available in MS office. To get an idea, we will also evaluate some internet-available examples.
1. Open Mozilla, go to a iste sharing interactive board materials:
http://www.veskole.cz/
http://www.jazykyinteraktivne.cz/
http://www.pekarjeucitelonline.cz/
http://www.gymnaziainteraktivne.cz/
http://www.activucitel.cz/
2. Choose some ITB material for both types of software, download and view. Which positive and negative features can you identify? Enter your ideas into the comments to this blog.
3. What makes a good ITB material? Think and discuss - work in pairs. Enter you comments into this blog.
4. Create your own project! Open Smart or Activ Inspire. Start a new file.
5. Insert a text, an image, a weblink, explore the pen function and the flash animations which are included in the gallery. Browse all menus. Feel free to experiment and have fun creating. :)

OdpovědětVymazatPositive : itś funny and entertaining;if it´s well done - it can teach a lot
VymazatNegatives : if you make some mistake,children will remeber the mistake easier; there is a possibility that you will focus on one pupil only (the one standing in font of the board)and the rest of the class will disturb you; it could be hard to prepare

Bulová Kristýna
Positive and negative features: good graphics, colours, pictures.
OdpovědětVymazatSome exercises were quiet chaotic (too many pictures)

Bernartová L.
projects: family, food
OdpovědětVymazatpositive features:
interactivity
fun
motivation
using games
good way of explaining things
colourful, interesting style
negative features:
a lot of games-> loss of concentration
missing writing
focusing only on some stuff (that student likes)
hard to remember the lesson (remembers only fun stuff)
positive features: fun, motivation and no stereotype
OdpovědětVymazatnegative features: as Jacob said- loss of concentration and when someone uses it too often, children get tired...
And what makes it good?
Not only presentation, but more "games" for children, less of information (no long texts,...) or place for their own opinions...
My topic: School Subjects
V prezentacích bylo:
OdpovědětVymazat. odkazy na videa, spousta obrázků - pro děti je to tak zajímavější
. odkazy na webové stránky pro děti, které by se o tématu chtěli dozvědět víc
. spojování slovíček s odpovídajícím obrázkem a podobné aktivity na procvičení slovní zásoby - to se mi líbilo
. některé tabule byly celkem nepřehledné/chaotické a nebylo jasné co mám dělat po případě kam přesně klikat
. některé tabule nebyly příliš interativní... spíš to byla jen prezentace - autor měl více využít možností programu aby tabule byla pro děti atraktivnější, zábavnější
. interaktivní tabule by měla mít pro děti zajímavá, motivační + zpestření při kterém se něco naučí nebo si procvičí již probranou látku
Positive - design, interactivity (moving items, video, pictures), an apropriate topic and sequence of exercises which should empower the student's motivation and learning activity, fun...
OdpovědětVymazat= this makes a good material
Negative - not a full use of all possibilities of the programme, it looks like a classic exercise in a book, chaotic exercises, too much fun and no learning potential
Müllerová
Positive: pictures, colours, games -motivation
OdpovědětVymazatNegative: mistakes, missing words, sometimes I didn't know what to do with the excercise
The materials shoul be easy understandable for everyone. The should serve for practicing.
Graphic illustration makes the explanation easier to understand.
OdpovědětVymazatVarious types of activities makes it more enjoyable.
Good material should contain as much various types of activities as posible.
Instructions have to be as simple as posible, but still understandable.
Smart - quality : depends mostly on the teacher. If he/she made the exercise well than it is very usefull. Depends on clarity, grammar, arrangement of exercises. positives: good motivation, fast work, pictures, grammar.
OdpovědětVymazatNegatives: may be too hard for common student , exercises are sometimes boring . L. Provaznik
present simple (smart): hezky zpracováno, vysvětleno, následně přehledná cvičení.
A good ITB material definitely have to teach children in the way that they don't think about the fact they are learning something = it should show something new or revise old stuff in interesting and funny way. so they won't be bored.
OdpovědětVymazatKrálová H.
I think that ITB materials should be interesting, clear, useful and funny. It should motivates children and children should learn something new.
OdpovědětVymazatIlléšová K.
Well, it´s nice, it has nice colours and animations, lot of pictures and it is pretty good stuff how to make lessons more interesting.
OdpovědětVymazatDisadvantage is that these interactive presentations sometimes don´t work very well. And to be honest, I still think it is just "hi-tech" paper textbook, maybe children are more motivated, when they can learn by using a computer.
Positives which make good ITB: it must be well-arranged (but similarly structured), interesting, creative,variable.
