Day One: Jumping in the Deep End by Immersing Ourselves in the Mobi and CPS Clickers

The following reflects our general itinerary on Wednesday January 12, 2011.

A. The Mobi Experience

1. From BPS Connect we'll look at some general pathways made available courtesy of BPS OIIT.



Mobi Hardware Main Menu

Interwrite Workspace Toolbars

followed by

Mobi Training Resources

2. Knee Surgery site which allows us to explore the pen option (labeling x-ray of the knee) and how we can toggle between the workspace menu and mouse option.

Also a chance to demonstrate the highlight and text option

3. Go to a website that allows us to explore linear inequalities



Again, a chance to demonstrate the pen option and transition into options including:

Blank page
Grid page
Timer
Gallery

4. We can look at the following options that can be selected from the icon at the top of our screen:

Curtain
Spotlight
Page sorter (at this point, we should have a few to toggle among)

Freehand text

and last but not least Sims - the function machine under the math menu

B. The CPS Experience

1. Using a sample database we'll try out mixed discipline questions in a teacher-directed format and view some of the available reports that are generated.

2. Asking a verbal question on the spot "how well do you feel you understand the lesson thus far on a scale of 1 to 4?"

3. Fast grade using a multiple-choice assessment again, based on mixed discipline questions that allows us to examine a student-directed assessment.
