 * 4 IWB Strategies to Get Kids Thinking**

1) Visual Literacy --Use real world images to take abstract content to concrete --DO NOT show large blocks of text on IWB (use the blind or other hide tools) --Small chunks of text are more effective

2) Summarizing & Notetaking For notes use small chunks of info on Board and have students turn to neighbor and summarize...discuss as class. Let students create their own notes.

3) Real World Applications --Show students real world applications & let students conjecture definition --Link content to emotion

4) Energy Shifters Use when students are not engaged or are nodding off idea--Partners with one facing away from board and the other facing board. Show images on board and have student facing screen give clues to their partner to have them guess the image. Make a library of images. Wendy used 6 images from pop culture for our activity. Gets students re-energized by thinking.
