** || **Description ** || **Skills Learned ** || **Resources ** || Students in grades 5 and 6 used the Smart recorder to capture what they were doing on the screen and to record with the microphone at the same time. This made a very good screencast of a procedural text. They practised the screen manipulation first and wrote a script. Students could use a rubric to help focus on the importance of clear step by step instructions. They could be given some choices about the level of difficulty of the procedure i.e. explaining a game that is already on the computer is easier than having to create an animation from scratch. || Procedural texts, Explanations, Using the smart recorder Developing clear articulate instructions, Speaking with confidence || Smart recorder software, unidirectional microphones, || The Interwrite board is a great way to take a snapshot of what you are doing with the kids on the screen, It would also work with the SmartBoard just not quite as easy. I use AB tutor control to cycle through the screens in the lab and by clicking in and out of the Interwrite program it captures a screen and cycles to the next computer. This is good for the Prep grades because they don't save their work in individual files yet. Each time you click on the Interwrite pen it automatically captures the screen and when you click on the mouse icon it returns to the AB tutor control program. || Assessment or Work program records. || Interwrite or SmartBoard screen capture. ||

They have created an online survey on [|www.surveymonkey.com] to write, collect and analyse their results. I was able to use the IWB to guide them through the software and allow them to experiment with different questions. || Questioning techniques, maths skills - data collection and analysis || [|www.surveymonkey.com] ||
