What’s a Clicker? What’s a Mobi? What’s eInstruction? CAUTION CAUT CLICKERS What’s a Clicker? What’s a Mobi? What’s eInstruction? By popular demand by educators eInstruction Inc. developed the Mobi and CPS Response System (Kaye, 2009). These tools also allow for digital resources to be integrated into the classroom without having to have an actual smart board. Cost Efficient Mobi System $250 vs. Smartboard = $1,000 - $5,000 Goals: To better engage the “digital natives” now occupying the classroom. Allow teachers to be more mobile while instructing students Teachers have access to their computers and can still deliver their lessons Clickers allow for direct engagement with students CAUTION CAUT

CLICKERS IN ACTION How Does it Work? CAUTION CAUT CLICKERS IN ACTION How Does it Work? Each student is given a clicker to use in answering questions. The teacher asks questions verbally, or displays them from the computer, or distributes the questions on paper. The student enters each answer with their clicker. Students can not tell how others are answering. The teacher can view various reports after the assessment to see how each student answered each question, including an overall score on the assessment. If the teacher has a Mobi Interactive Tablet, the student answers can be viewed in real time on the Mobi screen. Other Applications Collaborative Activities: Challenge Board & There It Is ExamView to take assessments CAUTION CAUT

Long Division D M S B R There are 5 steps in long division. Divide CAUTION CAUT Long Division There are 5 steps in long division. Divide Multiply Subtract Bring Down Repeat D M S B R

Step 1-Divide 2 9 4 Divide 2 into first number in the dividend CAUTION CAUT Step 1-Divide Divide 2 into first number in the dividend Think how many 2’s will fit into 9. Write that number directly above the number you divided into. 2 9 4

CAUTION CAUT Step 2- Multiply Multiply the divisor times the first number in the quotient. Write your answer directly under the 9 or the number you just divided into 2 l 9 4

Step 3- Subtract 2 l 9 4 Draw a line under the 8. CAUTION CAUT Step 3- Subtract Draw a line under the 8. Write a subtraction sign next to the 8. Subtract 8 from 9. Write your answer directly below the 8. 2 l 9 4

CAUTION CAUT Step 4- Bring Down Go to the next number in the dividend to the right of the 9. Write an arrow under the 4 Bring down the 4 next to the 1. 2 l 9 4

Step 5- Repeat or Remainder CAUTION CAUT Step 5- Repeat or Remainder This is where you decide whether you repeat the 5 steps of division. If your divisor can divide into your new number, 14, or if you have numbers in the dividend that have not been brought down, you repeat the 5 steps of division. 2 l 9 4

CAUTION CAUT Conclusion With a dominance of technology throughout society, it is natural that technology would be implemented within education. Computers have been a part of American classrooms since the 1970s Computers have become an essential tool in our society. Early exposure to computers may help students gain the computer literacy that will be crucial for future success in the workplace. Access to computers at school and at home allows students to retrieve information, manipulate data, and produce results efficiently and in innovative ways. (NCES, 1999a, p.64). “Today’s teachers are urged to integrate technology into their lessons to enhance instructional presentation and increase student motivation” (Billinsgsley, Scheuermann, & Webber, 2009, p. 4). The Interactive White Board & Clickers provide the integration of technology into daily lessons.
