Promethean Board

At Petal Upper Elementary, the school has a board that functions like a Promethean Board. During clinicals, my mentor teacher gives me the opportunity to learn how to use the board. They are very fun. It is connected to the teacher's computer. Anything that she would like to show to the class, will appear on the board. It is quite interactive too. You can create pictures and work on math problems on the board. You can even make marks or circles directly from webpages for students to make notes. I think it is very cool. What is even cooler than that is the students have became technological experts. It gives them training on how certain computer applications work because they can watch the teacher as she does so. Another good thing about the Promethean Board is that it comes along with clickers. The teacher can play games and have the students click their answers in. It gives the amount of students that got questions correct or incorrect without pointing at one particular student. This way the teacher can address information that the students may not have clear.
