9. Promethean Board Math Expressions
Our entire 2nd Grade program with added curriculum features is available on the Q Drive (network drive that can be accessed by anyone in the MSBSD).

10. Any interactive website you can find you can use in your classroom:
Teachers and Students alike!
Program materials and added tutoring and math games.
Tutoring program used for highly capable students.
Brief mini lessons on over 2,000 concepts.
Videos demonstrating concepts, especially great for the younger viewers-Cyberchase, Math Monsters, etc.

11. Use in the Classroom Most programs are electronic and/or interactive
Throw it up on the board…
Add a few widgets to make it interactive…
Add in media clips and animation to hook and hold their attention…
And voila!
An 80-90% engaged classroom of 26+ students!
Add some hand held devices for 100% engagement and instant corrective feed back!

12. Taking whiteboard instruction one step forward
Screencasting

13. While students are watching…
The interactive whiteboard of you or it appearing to teach the lesson by itself you can be:
Circulating
Checking and Correcting
Catching students up
Working with a small group where audio/visual is not enough

14. How do you do this?
Promethean has a built in feature that you can “record” yourself teaching the lesson.
You can go to and get a free account and do up to 15 minute videos (you can do a pic in screen of yourself teaching if you have webcam but I’ve only done the screen record mode.)

15. Why do this? Pros Cons Allows you more mobility
Allows flexibility in instruction
Differentiation
Takes time
Need to be tech savvy
Know your class-it changes every year
