Techie Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 Mobis and Smartboards

What is a Mobi? Mobi is the first mobile interactive whiteboard designed to support student-centered active learning and give educators the mobility and flexibility to deliver engaging lessons from anywhere in the room. With Mobi there's no need for a traditional interactive whiteboard. See more at: interactive-whiteboard#sthash.zGV2LDcZ.dpufhttp:// interactive-whiteboard#sthash.zGV2LDcZ.dpuf

Why use a Mobi? CAPABILITIES Project onto any surface, like a screen or wall, to create an interactive whiteboard experience. Save, print, and lessons and notes for review, students who were absent, or parents who want to see what their children are learning in class. ADAPTABLE Use Mobi™ by itself as a stand-alone whiteboard. Take the Smartboard literally to the student, minimizing the spotlight on students who don’t want to physically come to the board. Use up to 2 Mobis simultaneously to interact with and contribute to the same lesson, creating a collaborative learning environment for lessons and activities, even if you do not have a traditional interactive whiteboard.

What now? If you want to use a Smartboard or a Mobi, see one of your media specialists. We will be happy to schedule some time to help you set-up one of these devices. (We have a mobile Smartboard in the media center.) HOMEWORK: Teachers will look for an online lesson or speak with a colleague currently using one of these devices and craft their own lesson plan for their curriculum that lends itself to student-led presentations. Due by Jan. 21 st. Poll for Jan. 21 st Techie Tuesday. Who plans to attend? Do we need to reschedule due to grades, etc.
