ABE: Adult Basic Education

This is a collection of resources for a teacher with an interactive whiteboard who is looking for ways to use it in the classroom. The site has links to "how to" videos for both SmartBoard and Promethean Activboard, along with links to many types of sites to project on the board, and other activities.

For this activity, students will choose between one of two assignments: read and write about buying a used car and figure out what their budget can afford or read through an illustrated checklist of how to inspect a used car and write a summary of what they learn.

The website covers the ins and outs of buying a used car, car maintenance and more. It is an intermediate reading level.

Uses Flash For this activity, students will use the Snappy Words Web site to help them define a term in the form of a paragraph.

Use the Socrative teacher’s app or Web site to create formative assessments, which students take on the Socrative Student app, installed on mobile devices. Teachers can create quizzes or pose questions in class and get immediate feedback. The answers students provide to most questions through Socrative are anonymous. The one exception is the quiz. There students are asked to enter their names, which only the instructor can see. The instructor can ask spontaneous questions with the Single Question Activities or can create student self-paced quizzes or teacher-paced quizzes ahead of time. Instructors can cover a certain amount of content in a lecture and then pose a True/False, multiple choice, or short answer / open-ended question. The instructor can project the class responses immediately and follow up with a discussion, or go back and repeat or review content that may be revealed as unclear to students.

In this activity, students use an interactive Periodic Table to explore periods and groups of elements.
