Digital White Board

digital white board

In trying to push my creativity and teaching to the limit, I decided to upgrade my white board. To me, presentation is important. In addition, I wanted to give my students who could not read yet the ability to "see" what we were doing in class. To that end I've created (with some help from the app "Comic Life 3") a digital white board that could be used with a flat screen TV or projector. Below you will see the board as well as all the pictures that I am able to insert into the main board and then project. All of the "Warm-Up Time" and "Fitness Time" activities I came up with and I use them throughout the year. All of the "Practice Time" activities are based on the SPARK curriculum. Please feel free to use them as you wish. Suggestion: Another way to use them are as station signs! Enjoy!

Going just one step further, I created an animated digital white board. Please watch the video to see how I used Comic Life 3, Powerpoint, & animated GIFS to make the board come to life.
You can create your own animated GIFs from video in your iDevice's camera roll by using an app called "Video2Gif". You can then enter those into the "Keynote App".

Updated Digital White Board Examples
(added 10/25/18)

Over the past 3 years, I have created several versions of my digital whiteboard invention. Below you will see the various versions in both 45 minute classes (4 sections: Warmup/Fitness/Focus/Closing) and 30 minute classes (3 sections: Warmup/Focus/Closing). Where you see empty spots is where I put the various pictures and GIFs.
