Promethean Flip Chart Fractions Version 2


Hardware software


Fractions Version 2


I think this flip chart is a good resource for a teacher to use inside the classroom, of course the teacher will need to download the hardware/software which is known as ActivInspire.  The teacher can go to prometheanplanet.com to download different resources. This interactive resource has visuals that most students can relate too. It really gives the student a chance to see exactly what they are doing. It also brings in a lot more excitement to doing classwork.


Technology use based on problem solving


Technology helps students visualize underlying concepts in unfamiliar or abstract topics. Through the interactive software, students get support with really understanding the content. It also helps the student to stay focused on what it is they should be learning. Interactive technology can help guide independent student learning. Technology inside the class, help expose those students that may not have access to it at home.


Essential conditions for technology integration


Teachers, districts, local community and state need to share the same vision about technology integration. The world is integrating technology in almost every aspect of our lives.  Teachers  should be trained on how to use technology in instruction. Teachers need to know how to incorporate technology according to state standards.Technology has the most impact on achieving educational goals, therefore it is imperative to keep teachers trained in this area.






Software support tools


These tools help teachers and students produce materials on paper and online. Software can be downloaded, which makes it quicker and easier to get resources. The most popular interactive whiteboard are Prometheus Promethean ActivBoard and SMART Technology's Smart Board. These programs comes with a resource bank of images, graphics tools, and text tools that teachers can use to author programs in much the same way as they would use PowerPoint's program.
