At every school I visit, I see teachers creating amazing flipcharts that engage students interactively with instruction! Today I saw a flipchart in a 1st grade class that recreated Calendar Time into a super interactive Calendar Time. While the entire flipchart was great, the coolest part was the daily graph. The teacher asks a different student each day to come up with a question for the next day. The next day, students graph their answers according to the question. Her students can’t wait to get to school to graph!
Here’s your chance to share your work. You can start sharing your ideas and flipcharts on the APS Promethean Users Group. Please share your work even if you don’t think it’s “amazing.” Flipcharts don’t have to have to be hyper stylized renderings of dynamic interactive lessons. If you are creating flipcharts that could be used by other teachers of the same grade or subject, then that’s what we want. It could be as simple as adapting a Mondo lesson into something more interactive.
So… if you are interested in sharing your flipcharts, this is how you can do so.
