A Revolution in Education
Object Bounce Gesture
I've been wondering what pedagogical applications might be from the new feature/gesture that allows objects to "bounce" off the edges of the page when connected to a SMARTBoard. It's really cool and the kids love to play with it, but I'm guessing there has to be more.
Thanks, Lisa :)

It's great when two kids are working at the board together. one can easily and quickly "pass" a word, a picture or whatever to their partner on the other side of the board.

Yes, and the "bounce" part just keeps it in play, so to speak. I guess those of us with a 600 series board wouldn't know about things like that. Someday.......

I could see students using this feature when classifying information. They would bounce things to the other side of the boards that didn't belong in a specific catagory.

I just saw a science teacher who had students classifying information and tossing the words back and forth as needed.
I have also thought that it would work well to "pile" objects and sort through to find the "right" one, perhaps a deck of cards or pile of photos that illustrate a word. Students could decide which is "best" causing them to think as they go through the pile. To use the dual users, they can sort through a big pile together.
