Our HS physics teacher has students use their cell phones to text responses to questions he puts up on the board and the results are tallied and displayed in near real-time for the class to see. I believe he also has an interactive component that allows students to post questions as well. He actually does have a Promethean board, but just uses the projector for these activities.
I should point out that this is not a widespread activity (and technically violates district policy). It is being done as a pilot and on a limited basis. Plus, the teacher is a firm believer in mixing up the technology so the students don’t become bored or complacent with it. Thomas C.

Not a Smartboard/Mimio/Starboard/Promethean/etc., just a plain old dry erase board and projector. I'm wanting to gather a few examples for a workshop that I'll be doing with some staff. -- Chris McMahon Director of Technology Belleville Public School District #118 105 West A St. Belleville, IL 62220 (618) 233-2830 cmcma...@belleville118.org<mailto:cmcma...@belleville118.org>
