and Software
The teacher uses the ActivBoard in interactive ways (for more than a projector screen or traditional whiteboard, etc.)The teacher presents her lesson in flipchart format using ActivInspire software.The teacher is able to confidently select and manipulate different tools from ActivInspire’s Toolbar.The teacher frequently offers control of the ActivPen/ActivWand to students, and they are also able to use it to
manipulate ActivInspire tools.The teacher’s lesson includes the use of ActivExpressions or another student response system to maximize student
interaction.
Lesson Design and
Integration
The teacher varies the usage of features of the ActivBoard to keep students motivated and/or present different content concepts.
The teacher’s flipchart lesson is visually stimulating: students can easily focus on important text, images, and concepts.The flipchart lesson is truly multimedia: it includes web links, sounds, images, videos, and/or animation.The teacher uses the Web Browser and Annotate Over Desktop feature to access and interact with lesson content
outside of the flipchart.All students are actively engaged and participating, either individually or in groups, in the lesson.
Pedagogical Practices
The teacher clearly communicates learning goals.The teacher incorporates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic components into the flipchart lesson in order to address all
learning styles.The teacher has included opportunities for students to process information non-linguistically, as with graphic
organizers, 2- and 3-D models, pictures, graphs/pictographs, etc.The teacher provides multiple opportunities for students to practice the skills, strategies, and processes they are
learning at the ActiveBoard.The teacher includes formative assessment in the lesson and uses student response systems (such as
ActivExpressions) to provide students with instant feedback and help identify errors in their thinking.The teacher recognizes and celebrates growth.
