This, like all your videos, is so well done. Clear, entertaining, and inspiring. You have such good presence and understanding of ed tech tools. Thank you so much.
I use turn and talk using Kagan principles - various methods, timings etc. Then I call on random students as a representative of the group they talked with to tell the rest of the class what answer to the question they came up with. Everyone participates in some way. I can use this whiteboard to add to that - for example the groups write down their collective response before I call on someone. Luckily, my classes are small enough (10 or less) I can monitor everyone pretty easily, so it's hard for them to hide what they're doing.
A map of the US still is not a world map. But this slip tells a lot about the way Americans see the world…. Besides that: As always, an extremely useful video.
Thanks for the video! I looked at the features of this based on your video and realized that I have been doing all of these things via Google Classroom after ensuring that all students got a copy of the document. I respond individually, can see their responses as they are working, and can provide instant feedback. If I want students to use my template, I just share out the one I started. Is there a major difference that I’ve missed besides the fact that GC is free and Whiteboard.fi isn’t? Please help!
I suspected turn and talk was just an extra break time when it was taught to me at teacher school. I gave it a few goes. As you said as well, it does not work for the entire group.
Yeah, I do still use turn-and-talks quite a bit because they are practical (Even though this year I'm not teaching, I volunteer in an after-school makerspace program and use often use turn-and-talks). It's just not the only active participation solution, and isn't all that effective for making student thinking visible.
It can be used on a phone (not with an app, but via the web). Whether it's as effective really depends on how easily your students are able to use their phones to input info on the whiteboard (I would prefer a laptop, but that's the case for everything, not just this program).
They definitely can use it for math: there's an integrate math language tool! And yeah, we agree that drawing with a mouse and/or trackpad sucks: th-cam.com/video/qrS2rNgb6Ko/w-d-xo.html&t

I’ve seen your other videos, and I was wondering how you keep all your apps and tech stuff organized.
Hi Zheilad, do you mean how I organize apps for in-classroom use?

Haha! And I like to think of myself as "globally minded"!🤦🏼♂️
*some Americans…or maybe it was simply a mistake
nice features
We agree :)

Can it be used on a laptop computer with a trackpad?
Yes, definitely!

Can it be used with phones? Is it as effective as using laptops or ipads?

it would be useful if the students can use it for Math. Unless you have a tablet, using a mouse looks like trash.
