Debut using SMARTboards 2

The Referencing session was also a challenge to develop and make interesting! The lesson was developed by a colleague, but I looked at how we might utilise the functionality of our newly acquired SMARTboards...

With a little experimentation slides were developed where the basic elements of a reference (author, title, date, edition, place, publisher etc.) were typed in separately. It is then possible for each element to be moved around the screen with a finger - thus a full bibiliographic reference can be scrambled up and then moved into the correct order by individuals

Again, the advantages of this approach were to get students up and out of their seats, to the front and actively participating, it appeals to a range of learning styles (visual, kinaesthetic) and is fun.
