OK, I am extremely frustrated. Tried to reinstall Notebook and Senteo and both would not finish installing. The computer froze at the very end of each installation. I had to restart and now I have error messages in the Senteo teacher.
I am having trouble with some classes saving and I have different quizzes for all each class. Sometimes the quiz gets jammed. I have to close out of the quiz and open it back up to see the results for the class. The results save but they don't tra...

- Hi
The course is basically AmGovt but we do a historical examination of the founding period.
I notice that you mention the use of Ipod touches -- how are you using them?
Thanks, R

Harvey Almarode said… - Hey Tamara,
Like the pictures ... I have one of them John Deere's also!
I use the Airliner several ways ... as a teacher tool I can move about the room and as I tell my kids "Get close to the At Risk group" and still control the board. For a student tool I use it to "take the board" to them. It saves time and for older kids or those who do not like to get up front, it sort of becomes magic seeing the objects or writing appear without anyone at the board. Takes a while for some to use. I have found that in Middle School and High School it is a great way to check homework. I have the homework problems already on the board ( 1 problem per page) and take the Airliner to the student to answer. Attention is on the board and not on the student so they feel safe even when making mistakes. Hope that gives you some suggestions.

Obe Hostetter said… - I do SMARTBoard training all the time. I have family that lives in Lancaster, PA. Let me know if you would like to pay me to do a 1/2-1 day SMARTBoard and/or Senteo training for your staff or we could team teach together. Training helps the teachers use the SMARTBoard to its full potential so I would highly recommend it. Also feel free to email me any questions.
