Einstruction Workspace Software Install Appears To
It is designed to foster interaction between teachers and students. I realize there was a pull down menu at the top of my blog for it, but I never actually organized the content I have created in the past.Powerful teaching program for the digital classroom. I've followed the instructions listed here: However the problem I'm having is that the silent install appears to be skipping the installation of the 'Device Manager' program, which is a separate install built into the Workspace installer.I have heard from several people that they would like to see some of the educational videos I have created. Hey all, I'm working on trying to install Interwrite Workspace Software and Content Software in a silent manner.
It is included in the CPS Software download.Allow participants and presenters to write, diagram, manipulate and annotate over content with ease. If you have CPS Software 6.55.762 or later, do not download CPS PowerPoint. (CPS PowerPoint for Mac is only compatible with Microsoft Mac Office 2004). Download this software to use Classroom Performance System (CPS) with PowerPoint.
I have quite a few pencasts collected there. My livescribe pencasts are organized by topic on THIS PAGE. I will try to keep up with posting them here so I don’t lose them again!!Most of the tutorials/lessons I have created for my students in the past year are Livescribe pencasts, but I find when I need the lesson to be more visual, a video is better. I will hopefully be making more videos using these this semester. I found the document camera to be better for me when I am actually needing to record working with actual objects like base ten blocks and fraction circles. In other videos I used a Lumens HD Ladibug document camera.
After putting a problem on the board (computer screen, writing with the Mobi and using software called Interwrite Workspace), I would give 4 groups each a Mobi and have someone from the group post their group’s solution. There were 8 groups, and I have 4 Mobis. To see a few of those interactive tutorials, CLICK HERE.These are still a work in progress, but I promise to continue adding here so check back!I have had my students sitting in groups since the first day of class, but today I thought I would add more interaction and have them contribute to the board notes.
An especially nice feature of the Mobi software, called Workspace, is that I can save the board notes and export them to a PDF file. I use a Mobi (from eInstruction) to present the lesson from anywhere in the room. I then upload the notes to their class website, and post a link in the calendar on the day the notes were taken.I created a webpage to house the daily notes for each chapter, starting with our first chapter: Chapter 92. I borrowed my colleague’s idea to have 2 students take notes during every class using a Livescribe smartpen. For their first day, they did a great job!They have really embraced the technology I use in class, starting with having 2 students take notes with Livescribe pens to share with the class on the website.In a week or two I will introduce the clickers!A new semester has begun and I have added a few new ways to help my students succeed.
This time they could add color and crop images for their characters and turn it into a movie.At the end of the workshop, we shared everyone’s finished products on the different levels of Bloom’s TaxonomyWe had a great time watching each other’s final projects! I had a lot of fun teaching with several of my colleagues for the ATLAST program, which stands for: Achieving Technological Literacy in Arizona Students and Teachers.ATLAST is a project supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Each group got a Mobi to use to recreate their cartoon on the Workspace software installed on their computer. I then send them the link to the pencast, and I also created a webpage to house all solutions to student homework questions.* here is the link to the page that contains all the homework solutionsHere is one of the solutions I wrote to my students just today:What do mobile whiteboards, smartpens and Bloom’s Taxonomy have in common? A great all-day workshop teaching high school teachers, and their students who are in a teacher education program, how to use mobile whiteboards and smartpens through the use of a hands-on project that focused on Bloom’s Taxonomy!We started the day learning about Hybrid versus Blended teaching models, and then I introduced the Mobi, a mobile interactive whiteboard made my eInstruction.Next up was a discussion about Bloom’s taxonomy.Then, to get them ready to do their first project, we played “Blooms Taxonomy According to Pirates of the Caribbean”:I introduced them to the Livescribe Pulse smartpen and another colleague showed them how to draw stick figures so they could create a cartoon based on the pop culture area of their choice for the Bloom’s Taxonomy level their group was in charge of.They had a great time creating their first cartoon strip and adding sound with the Livescribe Pulse smartpen! After lunch I gave them a lesson on using the Mobi, eInsruction’s mobile interactive whiteboard. Instead of trying to type back a response to them, I fully explain their solution using a Livescribe smartpen. The students use an online program to do their homework, which sends me a screen shot when they need help on a particular problem.
During the workshop I presented with the Mobi, and had the participants often answer questions using the CPS Pulse clickers (eInstruction). Workspace (eInstruction – comes with the Mobi)To see the full workshop, along with all the materials presented, you can visit my google website for the workshop. He put me in a soft boot cast and crutches.As time went on it became harder to walk and stand, but luckily, once I got into my classroom each hour, teaching was easy and still fun….I was SO glad I had my eInstruction Mobi! If it wasn’t for my Mobi, I would not have been able to teach my classes these past 5 1/2 weeks!I had a very difficult time getting to my classes (in three different buildings on campus) but once there, I could sit anywhere in the room (usually right with the students) and teach from my chair with my foot up! I could interact with any program on the computer, and write all my examples on the board….without having to stand or walk during class!Picture the teacher in this photo sitting down, with a cast on her foot, resting her foot on a chair….that would be me!I would have continued teaching this way (and will for sure when I return), but I was forced to go on medical leave, as the walking from class to class (building to building) was just too much for my foot.I will miss my students, and I KNOW they will miss learning with the help of great technology!Today I gave a 3 1/2 hour hands-on workshop on teaching with technology, in Tucson, AZLooking at the screenshot of my website for the workshop above, you can see the major topics were: Finally I went to a podiatrist who saw on both the original x-ray and the new ones he took that I had a fracture that was getting worse. They couldn’t see anything, so I kept walking on it for another 2 weeks.
