I am really glad this class taught us how to use ActivInspire. I have heard in the past many teachers complain about using this system because they did not know how to properly use it. Therefore, they became flustered and did not utilize this resource like it should be. This course has given me the proper tools to be able and correctly and efficiently utilize this software system. I most definitely plan on using this very often in my classroom. I am a hands-on learner and plan to make my classroom as hands-on as possible. I personally feel like students learn the best in this manner. ActivInspire allows students to be able to actively engage with the material and makes learning more enjoyable for everyone. Therefore, the information is more likely to stay them.
The one thing I would change about teaching ActivInspire in this course is to make it a little longer. Even though I had the software system at home and had the book to guide me, I still struggled some with figuring out how to work it properly and in a time efficient manner. Maybe an additional class can be added in the future to go into more in-depth instruction over all the functions this board can perform.
