A display is a place to think together. Start with one small routine.

SMART BOARD / INTERACTIVE DISPLAY

More hands-on.
Less watching.

Invite reasoning at the board, then check understanding away from it.

01

Annotate & explain

Display a short text, graph or worked example. Ask learners to mark the evidence and explain a choice.

Try a 10-minute routine
  1. Think independently on paper (2 min).
  2. Compare and annotate two approaches (5 min).
  3. Solve a fresh example without the display (3 min).

Subjects: language arts, mathematics, science and history.

Access: offer large-print text, spoken description, paper and keyboard alternatives.

02

Predict & compare

Show two explanations or models. Invite a prediction, test one condition, then discuss what changed.

Try it in your subject

Math: graph two invented pricing plans. Science: compare force diagrams. History: inspect two public sources.

Use a split view only if your display supports it. Otherwise alternate two pages or use paper side by side.

Check: each learner explains a new case independently.

03

Model a revision

Use a document camera to show a physical model, calculation or teacher-written draft changing in real time.

Make the process visible

Show the first attempt, name one problem, revise, then explain why the change helps. Learners improve a separate example.

Position the camera for readable contrast and focus. Narrate the change and provide a still image or print alternative.

Use teacher-created examples; do not project private records or identifiable student work without the required school permission.

04

Build, test, explain

Connect the screen to paper bridges, manipulatives, robotics or a physical model already available in the room.

Start with existing equipment

K–2: sequence a paper build. Grades 3–5: compare a plan with quantities. Grades 6–8: test a sorting rule. Grades 9–12: defend a design under a changed constraint.

Check room safety, equipment availability and accessible participation before the activity. A simulator is a model, not a substitute for authorized practical training.

Check: explain one limitation and transfer the idea to a new task.

PrepareCheck the display model, input, touch, sound and an offline alternative.
ParticipateUse readable contrast, prepared transcripts and more than one way to respond.
CloseEnd screen sharing, sign out and clear the board using its model-specific instructions.

Turn off previews of personal notifications before presenting. Use the school-approved sharing method. Never assume another model’s buttons, recording or screen-sharing features apply to your display.
