Untether to Connect to Students

'Teachers always ask me, "Why do we have another tech thing for my classroom?  I mean gadgets are cool, but  it won't change how I teach. "  Well lately I have been able to show how this 'little black box', called a ScreenBeam, has changed how teachers teach and interact in their classroom.  The Screenbeam is a simple was to untether our teachers from their desktop computers.  When you use a wireless device with Windows 10, you can connect and display your screen to the entire classroom and move freely around the classroom. 
For example, our teachers love Kahoot - fun way to assess your student's understanding of a lesson.  The problem we ran into however, was that to run the game,  had to be at their desk.   With the use of the Screenbeam, teachers can now freely move around the room while running the game.  Teachers are more engaged with their students, and the Screenbeam makes it easier for teachers to facilitate learning in the classroom.  Students can also create their own games to allow them to own their own learning.  Students love the ability to interact with each other and play in the 'game-like' setting , making education fun!  I encourage everyone to add a little 'magic' box to their classroom.  It will change how you teach and interact with students, especially while using a fun edtech tool like Kahoot.  If you untether your teaching, you can really connect on another level with students.
