Let the magic shows begin??

Have great fun w/ your BrightLink! Use it to engage and motivate your students! Use it to advance your next PPT slide! Use it to save your digital ink—and your dry erase markers! Use it to replace your overhead projector!  Use it as a glorified projector!

But…even as our BrightLinks are coming online, let’s remember it’s NOT all about the technology. We’ve said that all 21st century skills can and should be taught in the context of core academic subjects. Thus, our stated goal: Fusing the three R’s and the four C’s (critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, and creativity and innovation). I'm looking forward to your lesson re-make presentations next week (Nov 16-17)!

And...considering your new BrightLink, here's some food for thought:
The $2 Interactive Whiteboard    Here's his last sentence: But let’s not kid ourselves into thinking it improves student learning.

What do you think?

Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
