A Big Thank You to Our ESU 4 Teacher Panelists

A big thank you to all of our teacher panel participants at the ESU 4 inservice at Nebraska City this month! Participants included Rich Gilson of Lewiston, Tammy Blobaum and Megan Howe of Johnson-Brock, Mary Moser of Pawnee City, and Father Mark Cyza of Nebraska City Lourdes.

These teachers fielded questions about their experiences with eInstruction products in their classroom, including CPS clickers and the Interwrite Schoolpad.

As a thank you for their participation, each of them was surprised to receive their very own Interwrite Mobi to take home!

Interwrite Schoolpad Excitement is Contagious

We got this from Robert Gill in Texas this week:

"I've used the Interwrite Schoolpad for 4 years now. I finally got my entire math department to purchase them first semester, and they all use them. They love coming to tell me they learned to do something new with it, or a website they use with it. I installed all of them, troubleshooted a few of them. Then, the English department got jealous, so I showed them where to get them, installed them, and now we collaborate in the hallways on how we each use them.

We also use the CPS units for a lot of the assessments, and are just now getting to learn to put them into our presentations."

Implementing by department is effective for implementing any new technology, because users are close enough to ask questions of each other and can provide new ideas pertaining to the subject matter they teach.

However, if you do implement these technologies by department, we will include the following warning...

WARNING: Interdepartment jealously is to be expected!

Thanks for sharing your experience Robert. Keep up the good work at South Texas ISD!

CPS Clickers in the Law School Classroom

Darlene Cardillo, instructional technologist at Albany Law School, sent us the link to her article entitled, The Use of Clickers in the Law School Classroom, which was recently published in THE LAW TEACHER (pp.13-14). Darlene has written an excellent article about Professor Daniel Moriarty's use of clickers in his 1L Criminal law class and how he incorporated clicker questions into his TWEN (The Westlaw Education Network) website.

Darlene and Professor Moriarty will be presenting with the University of Texas School of Law on “Using Clickers in the Law School” at the CALI Conference on June 19, 2008.

In preparation, Darlene sent out an online survey to Professor Moriarty's students asking them how does the use of CPS enhance their learning of the course material (Criminal Law). You can see the responses that she gathered from students on her blog.

Thanks for sharing your experiences Darlene!
