Today in class I passed out the Mobis<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>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. \u00a0 There were 8 groups, and I have 4 Mobis. \u00a0 \u00a0After 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. \u00a0At first no one wanted to try it, but after a short time, they were all wanting to have a chance to write with the Mobi!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the students had more fun than others – drawing pictures and fooling around on the screen, but it was OK because they were ENGAGED!<\/p>\n

The first four groups would hand off their Mobi to the other four groups and we would work another problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI have to admit, some students were able to write using the Mobi better than I can, and I have practiced longer! \u00a0You have to look at the screen while writing on the Mobi \u00a0– a little challenging at first. \u00a0 For their first day, they did a great job!<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In a week or two I will introduce the clickers!<\/p>\n
