Day+1

**Today's Objectives:** By the end of today's session, participants will be able to:

 * ====Review and evaluate flipcharts for interactivity and engagement ====
 * ====Create a criteria for interactivity and engagement ====
 * ====Review tools taught throughout previous workshops that promote interactivity ====
 * ====Learn about the requirements for course participation ====


 * ====**Welcome and Introduction:** Instructor will introduce herself and experience with the board. All participants will have the opportunity to share their grade level, teaching experience, and experience with the board. Instructor will go through basics of the course, including the syllabus, course materials, and course requirements. ====
 * ====**Getting Started with Inspire:** Participants will log on to support wiki and be introduced to the basics of the page. They will also be lead through starting ActivInspire. A brief quiz will go through the basics of the program to refresh prior knowledge from previous courses. ====
 * ====**Group Work:**Participants will be lead to the following two flipcharts and asked to evaluate the flipcharts. Participants will first work independently, then in pairs or small groups. During the evaluation, they will be looking for pro's and con's of each flipchart in terms of how well the flipchart promotes interactivity and engagement for the students. ====

 * ====**Group Work Share-Out:** After evaluating the flipcharts, each group will come up to the board and share their thoughts about the various components of the flipchart. Participants will share the pro's and con's that they came up with, sharing where the flipchart was interactive and places where it was lacking. ====
 * ====**Group Criteria Building:**After all groups have shared, the group will come together to create a list of criteria for engagement and interactivity when building flipcharts. When the group has shared all of their ideas, we will sort and organize all criteria and then vote on the top 5 in order to create our criteria list. Criteria should follow the following guidelines:Course Requirements: The instructor will present the course requirements and evaluation criteria for participants so that they have an understanding of what is expected by the end of the course. ====


 * ====Students are using the pen/Promethean tools throughout the lesson ====
 * ====Students are being questioned throughout the lesson ====
 * ====Activator/Exit card is being used to engage students before and after the lesson- preferably with the use of activotes or activexpressions ====
 * ====The lesson promotes visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning ====
 * ====The lesson provides opportunities for critical thinking ====
 * ====**Work Time:** Given the criteria established in class and the course requirements, participants will have a minimum of 30 minutes to begin work on the 2 flipcharts required for course completion. ====
 * ====<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">**Homework:** Participants will be asked to find 2 flipcharts on the ActivMCPS website. One flipchart should meet the criteria for engagement that was created in class today. Another flipchart should not meet the criteria. Participants should evaluate each website and be ready to share how they do/do not meet the criteria and how they can be improved. ====
