So how do you get help from teachers of the arts?

 

One thing is a given – inquiry-based approaches involve following students along paths that you might not be able to predict – and that involves responsive teaching.

 

I’d recommend that you go and search out your arts teachers. They are usually really passionate about their subject area, just as you are, and may be eager to share their expertise.

 

For starters you might ask some of these questions to get a conversation going (and glean an invitation to observe):

 

- What techniques are used to build an effective community of learners?

 

- What strategies and structures are put in place to manage a classroom that focuses on discussion, sharing and reflection?

 

- How do teachers handle the fact that the endpoint isn’t always what is planned or expected?

There are several reasons why you would be thinking to use collaborative white boards in your classroom . As a teacher, you can use these collaborative web tools to explain abstract hard to grasp concepts to your students through  diagrams, illustrative drawings, mindmaps...etc .

 

You can also use them to get students working collaboratively on a classroom project.The cool thing about these collaborative whiteboard tools is that they are web-based and therefore do not require any software installation and you can access them anywhere with internet connection. Here are three new tools I recommend for you today, check them out below and share with us what you think of them.
