SPOTLIGHT : Introducing the Clevertouch Interactive Flat Panel (IFP)!
Over the past year and a half volunteer teachers, along with team members from the Technology and Learning & Teaching departments, have worked side-by-side to deploy 160+ Clevertouch Interactive Flat Panels and offer professional learning for Elmhurst staff!
A significant upgrade for classroom instruction, these devices are replacing aging SMART boards and projectors across all K-5 buildings and provide new opportunities to foster student collaboration, creativity, engagement, and much, more! Here is what some of our D205 staff have to say about the new Clevertouch:
"This board is amazing!! Our class uses the highlighting tools and annotation features during reading to locate information and determine main ideas."
"The image is so clear and students can participate from anywhere in the room! Kids are loving it!"
"We've had multiple devices connect to the board to analyze student work and have students explain their thinking to the class."
"I use the Clevertouch CONSTANTLY in my classroom. I pair the iPad and whiteboard in math - allowing students and I to model problems for the class or in small groups. I also use split screen to compare and contrast literary elements in two texts from the web or drive and annotate on ANYTHING!"
Thank you to all the thoughtful, supportive staff who continue to play a part in building, deploying, planning, facilitating, and leading instructional efforts with Clevertouch! There is so much to celebrate!
