Wednesday - 3:00-4:00
Salon 7
Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technnology (9-12)
New Charter School that opened this year.
All rooms have Promethean Technology. The teachers found this somewhat overwhelming at first, so they put some things in place to help;
- All students are helping to create lessons in ACTIVstudio. They work in groups with a specific topic assigned to them. This would be no different than them doing a Power Point presentation.
- Students share flipcharts with teachers and students
- Teachers share flipcharts with students for notes when they are absent
- There are one or two Tech Helpers in each class to help with troubleshooting the board and accessories when needed.
Business partners and community advisory board helped them to implement a 1:1 laptop initiative. These business stay connected with the school throughout the year in many ways. This allows students to interact with CEOs of the companies involved.
What a great learning environment they have created!
Check it out when you have a moment...
