IWB_Mireia

Here I go again with a new experience! 

This time is about Interactive White Boards (IWB) and I need to say that it was an incredible discovery. I have been seeing IWB in class during this past years but I had never used one. I have one in my class but I have never used it because I didn't know how. Another reason is because we don't have the appropriate program to use it. 

During the class I discovered several ways to use this new toy for me and I really liked it, I couldn't stop thinking about activities that I want to practice with my 3 years old students. Because of that, my activities are related to some of the activities that I have done in class but in a manual way. 

On one hand, you can see the activity called "Peter and the Wolf". If you don't know the story, each character has one instrument during the argument, and I wanted them to relate everything between them. Because I did not know how to create the perfect template, the one you can see can be related with the arrow that you can draw on the IWB.

On the other hand, you can see the activity called "What can you see?". As you can see, there is a picture under the grey curtain and the idea is to ask the students what they can see on the mysterious part. However, instead of removing the curtain, the main objective for this activity is to draw on top of the curtain.

I actually applied both activities and it was an interesting experience. In the first activity I thought that relating was going to be difficult for them. However it had the opposite reaction because they related the pictures and each sound.

The second activity was an excellent idea. Apart from them loving it, they had the perfect excuse to create in a different place rather than a paper. I introduced this activity in hour philosophy hour and they did it in groups of five to talk about the mysterious picture in order to draw it.
