Our last meeting. I have learned so much from our meetings , both from the instructors and from my fellow teachers. I believe we have a great community of experts and resources.
Parmethean Board Tutorial
Today Justin Putman, a teacher and tech guy, came to instruct us on the ins and the outs of using a board. Today I learned that the Parmethean Active Panel is the way to go. He advised if buying new tools it is better and has longer life than a projector. It looks like a large tv screen but it is sturdier than an smart board. ACTIVEINSPIRE is free softwares and may be downloaded on any computer..
He reminded us about YTD YouTube Downloader lets you download videos for FREE. JUST DON'T SELL ANYTHING!
I want to write a grant to get one, I don't have a projector anymore and I need this!
