High-tech board enhances learning
Portland Press Herald, January 14, 2008
(excerpt) Winslow High School physics teacher Corbin Brace last week flashed concepts and equations about electricity in rapid fashion on the classroom whiteboard.
He did so without the use of a marker and without getting within arm's length of the board. Instead, he spent most of the class walking randomly among his honors-level students.
One of the latest types of computerized, interactive whiteboards, the Promethean Board gives teachers such as Brace the ability to deliver lessons in the PC or Apple-based way that appeals to today's technologically savvy teens.
He can do so on the go, thanks to the dinner plate-size tablet that he holds in hand.
"This really allows me to tie everything together in a way modern students think," Brace said. "(Students) aren't linear thinkers anymore."
