Techie Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2014 Mobis and Smartboards Slide 2 What
is a Mobi? Mobi is the first mobile interactive whiteboard designed
to support student-centered active learning and give educators the
mobility and flexibility to deliver engaging lessons from anywhere
in the room. With Mobi there's no need for a traditional
interactive whiteboard. See more at:

CAPABILITIES Project onto any surface, like a screen or wall, to
create an interactive whiteboard experience. Save, print, and email
lessons and notes for review, students who were absent, or parents
who want to see what their children are learning in class.
ADAPTABLE Use Mobi by itself as a stand-alone whiteboard. Take the
Smartboard literally to the student, minimizing the spotlight on
students who dont want to physically come to the board. Use up to 2
Mobis simultaneously to interact with and contribute to the same
lesson, creating a collaborative learning environment for lessons
and activities, even if you do not have a traditional interactive
whiteboard. See more at:

Slide 9 What now? If you want to use a Smartboard or a Mobi, see
one of your media specialists. We will be happy to schedule some
time to help you set-up one of these devices. (We have a mobile
Smartboard in the media center.) HOMEWORK: Teachers will look for
an online lesson or speak with a colleague currently using one of
these devices and craft their own lesson plan for their curriculum
that lends itself to student-led presentations. Due by Jan. 21 st.
Poll for Jan. 21 st Techie Tuesday. Who plans to attend? Do we need
to reschedule due to grades, etc.
