Welcome to myViewBoard Educator! Level 2 is a little different and we focus somewhat more on pedagogy than just learning tools. Our goal is to help you think of innovative, engaging ways to use myViewBoard Whiteboard to enhance teaching and learning. To get started we'll look at some models to help us think about technology integration. This will help us self assess if we're using technology in new and engaging ways. We'll also explore how kids are learning outside of the classroom, to help us think about how we're reaching kids in our classroom. 

Goals of this course:

• Review different technology integration models

• Understand more about Generation Z and Generation Alpha

• Create your own engaging Whiteboard Lessons/Activities

As a reminder, you'll need to complete Level 1 before you can pass the Level 2 Quiz. You'll be asked to enter a code for the Level 2 Quiz that you should have received with your certificate, after completing Level 1.

In this assignment you'll find a short reading and video about the SAMR model. As you read and watch, think about the following questions:

• Without a lot of training on a ViewBoard panel, what might be the most common way to use it in the classroom?

• What is a way I could redefine learning in my classroom using a ViewBoard panel?

• What personal challenges might I have to address/overcome to move up the SAMR ladder?

After reading the article and watching the videos, feel free to leave a comment answering one of the questions above in our myViewBoard™ Community. Remember you'll need to sign in with your myViewBoard™ account to participate in the discussion.

As many have pointed out, we're already 2 decades into the 21st Century; so if we haven't fully grasped this, now is the time! In this unit we'll explore the following questions:

• What is 21st Century Learning and why is it still important?

• What skills are future employers looking for in our students?

• How can classroom replicate the real world to better prepare kids for the future?

Head over the myViewBoard™ Community if you'd like to discuss further!
