another use of technology in the classroom

Several days ago I observed a high school science class. The teacher did a great demonstration using the Smartboard - it involved a " bird" hunting peppermoths. It really engaged the students and was a great demonstration of how they blended into the forest.

  1. More info. Can you describe or add details of how this activity worked? Sounds fantastic.

  2. The teacher played something like a video on the smart board which showed hard to see moths flying. The student was the bird,which appeared as a shadow. The student would touch the screen where moths were visible and " eat" them. It was very interactive and engaging for all.
