Airliner Activities
Airliner Instructional Strategies
Middle School
You can also move around the classroom, Math
and individual students can use the slate to Science
participate in or take control of the lesson. You can present a concept to the whole Language Arts
class and then transition seamlessly into
group instruction.
High School
The wireless slate connects to a computer, Language Arts
allowing both teachers or students to
control lessons by highlighting material and
launching applications. The wireless slate supports simultaneous Science
interaction, so multiple slate users can write Social Studies
notes at the same time someone is using the
SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
