Board Meeting

Southampton School District has board meetings every two weeks. Tonight, I will be presenting (along with Pauline!!) some new technology!

My class has been using Turning Point Technology along with our Smartboard. This program allows students to select answers to questions created by their teacher, with the use of a "clicker." I have never seen students more enthused or excited about answering questions, or taking a test! This program keeps track of student responses and can show teachers what questions students are finding difficult, with a touch of a button.

We are currently piloting this program. It is my hope that showing all the great things it can do will encourage the school district to purchase more for other teachers to use. It has become an invaluable tool in our class!
