Now that you’ve had a few months to use, discuss and learn SMART’s products, we have a few questions for you so answer the following questions by commenting on this post.
1. What is your favourite SMART product and why?
2. What is your favourite activity using SMART’s products and why?
3. How has learning changed using SMART’s products?
We look forward to hearing what everyone has to say!
On Friday April 17th, Early French Immersion students from Harkins Middle School were able to meet their Francophone penpals from Tracadie-Sheila, NB for the very first time using SMART Bridgit software. It was quite rewarding to actually see and converse with our friends after corresponding via written letters all year. Even more exciting: In June, we will be meeting our friends in person (in Fredericton) on a “Friends Meeting Friends” field trip, which includes a visit to Science East.
If you’ve used Bridgit conferencing software (or any other type), what is different about communicating by virtual exchange, verses the handwritten letter?
Thanks to Miss Barrieau for sending us this great video. For more on how Harkins Middle School is incorporating SMART products into their classroom, visit Miss Barrieau’s blog here: http://abarrieau.blogspot.com/.
The video features students from Miss Barrieau’s grade 6 french immersion class talking about which products they like using, how the products have improved the learning in the classroom and the lesson activities which the students like the most. Which SMART product do you like the most? What’s your favourite activity?
