Making the Lab Interactive

An exciting change happened to the computer lab over spring break. Using a wii remote I brought from home, an infrared light pen I purchased off the internet, and free software I downloaded from Johnny Chung Lee’s website, I now have an interactive board to use with the students in the lab. I also purchased a pole and clamp from Penteractive to suspend the wii remote from the ceiling, although that is optional. You will need a computer with blue tooth capabilities and a projector. The fifth graders have been reviewing math vocabulary for two and three dimensional shapes by visiting the interactive websites hosted at The View (Virtual Intermediate Education at White Oak) which are our moodle lessons. You can preview the sites by logging in to our moodle environment by using the username: woteacher, password: woteacher. Watch the video below to see how easy it is to convert your board to be interactive.
