I have found an issue with my interwrite. This issue is remembering to plug it in at night to allow it to charge and be ready to go during the day. Three times I have forgotten to do this and it isn't usable when I go to use it. Remembering to keep it charged is a problem I need to work on! Our school has said they will offer training courses in using the interwrite to allow teachers to become more proficient. However, it's been over three months and I still haven't heard anything.
There is a teacher in the district who is apparently very well-versed in using an interwrite and she had multiple teachers in her room observing her use of the interwrite as a learning tool. Observing another teacher using it in action in the classroom is a good way to see how it can actually be utiluzed in the classroom. There is a big difference between using a learning tool in a presentation with all adults compared to using it in a classroom of 10 year olds. I look forward to learning more about using this tool in my classroom to engage my students. I think it will be beneficial to their learning.
