PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition™ Ideal Tool for Special Education Co-Teaching Classrooms

International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference

The interactive writing solution is the Key to Effective Learning
PHILADELPHIA–June 26, 2011 - ( Virtual Press Office ) –AssistiveTek, LLC, top reseller of PaperShow For Teachers is excited to showcase the PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition™ , the key to effective learning, for the second time at the 2011 International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference, June 26-29 in booth 128. The PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition is the ideal tool for use in special education and inclusion classrooms, helping teachers to create more visually appealing interactive presentations. With PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition™ teachers have access to a range of tools including, including an interactive calculator, magnifying glass, two measurement tools, lined paper for students learning to write and 72 different colors.

An essential tool for both the classroom and virtual teaching, PAPERSHOW consists of three elements: a wireless Bluetooth pen, a USB Key and interactive paper that work together to allow one to create a digital flip chart or annotate a Keynote or PowerPoint Presentation live. After a PAPERSHOW session, one can save it and then immediately print and/or email it to participants.

The PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition, combined with a projector and a computer, gives teachers the ability to transform their lessons and presentations into engaging interactions at a fraction of the cost of interactive whiteboards, as PAPERSHOW for Teachers costs just $249. The PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition starter kit, compatible with both Macs and PCs, includes one 128-page double-wired notebook, 30 sheets of interactive paper, one Bluetooth® digital pen, one 512MB Bluetooth ® USB Key with software embedded, one interactive extra toolbar, a ring binder, pen case and other accessories.

“The PAPERSHOW Teacher’s Edition is a great piece of technology. It will help to support co-teaching models in the classroom (when there is a special education and regular education teacher in the same classroom) and allow all students needs to be met, inside the classroom,” Diana Scharer, Special Education Teacher, Township of Union, Union, NJ.

TCI Blog » Interactive Student Notebook: Beyond Social Studies

Heard of the Interactive Student Notebook through the grapevine.

Although originally created by TCI for use in Social Studies classrooms, the Interactive Student Notebook is a teaching strategy that has limitless potential. The beauty of the ISN is that every teacher’s version will be slightly different. In my hallway, 7 out of 8 teachers used the notebook with our students, but not a single one of us did it the exact same way! (Let’s save a discussion of the 9 teacher for another time…) But the end result is the same: students are more organized, more connected to their learning, and more passionate about the content.

But the ISN can be used for so much more than Social Studies. Here are some of the “non-Social Studies” uses for the notebook that educators at a recent ASCD conference shared with me.  I’d love to hear others you have!

ISN in Math & Science: I can’t tell you how many times SS teachers tell me that they’ve “enlightened” their colleagues in other subjects and that the whole school is now using the ISN. Check out this Wiki for some ideas: http://interactive-notebooks.wikispaces.com/ .

ISN Assignments to Structure Staff Development: A curriculum coordinator explained that she creates all of her staff development sessions so that they follow the Preview/Graphically Organized Notes/Processing structure. She reports the ISN helps teachers personalize the content from trainings so that they can more successfully implement best teaching strategies.

ISN as a Personal Development Portfolio: A principal explained that her teachers create an ISN for all the in-house trainings, external conferences, PLC team meetings, etc they attend during the year. Instead of drowning in loose notes about school procedures and teaching techniques, they have everything in one place.

I wish you all the best as you implement the ISN. Remember: tweak it to fit your personality, your teaching style, your content, and your students. And have fun!
