Solar PV trainers lead discussions and lessons and
students learning about PV installation need practice designing schematics.

SMART Notebook for use with Smartboards can help engage students in lessons and allow for practice and feedback. Teachers can design lessons, present material, then have discussion, practice and feedback in more interactive way with the group.

and http://exchange.smarttech.com/

Relative advantage:
1) greater student engagement
2) greater visual interest
3) ability to interact with photo examples
4) Lesson plan ideas

Students can graph, create tables, plot points and create pictures. Desmos can be connected to google drive where created images can be exported and used in documents.

This would be great to add to collaborative presentations.

*There is also a Desmos FREE ipad app which has examples!

In the Chrome App store, search Geogebra!

Students can demonstrate the meaning of the math as it appears in their world. Geogebra is dynamic geometry software where students can create, manipulate and explore math.

Using "save to drive" images can be saved and inserted into other documents and apps for presentations, reflection and study.

Connect movenote for education from the Chrome web store.

Students can give voice and video to docs and images from drive!

Students can also take images of their work on paper and add video commentary as to what it means.

Through its send and reply feature, teachers & students can build a communication ring about an idea!

Remember wallwisher? Padlet is a neat way to add collaboration to your classroom. With the convenience of the Chrome web store, the padlet shortcut makes creating a wall as quick as a click and a touch of customization!

Place markers, project image and have kids complete constructions using real geometric tools!

Take a screenshot and import into geogebra!

In this image, students had to find the location of the point that is equidistant from 3 high schools!

Google maps with streetview makes the purpose of the activity relevant!

Using data, collaborate and analyze with google spreadsheets! Understanding how data works is always best when working with real data and connected minds!
