K12 teachers are always looking for innovative ways to make it easier to use computers and tablets in the classroom. Wibki provides a great tool for that. This is why many K12 teachers are already using Wibki in the classroom to keep their students on track and organized. On this blog post we will share some examples and testimonials from real K12 teachers to show you how the smart classroom can be less intimidating while using Wibki.
Organize Your Lesson Plans
Fourth grade teacher, Barbara Day, uses Wibki to create different tabs on her class’ page for different subjects, making it easy to keep herself and her students organized. Adding a website to your Wibki will make it visible on every computer, saving K12 Teachers from having to walk around and add it to each individual computer and it’s easier for students who use multiple computers and tablets. “When I want to add shortcuts, I just do it once, and it shows up for everyone.” shares Ms. Day on her personal blog “This lets my students have much easier access to the websites that I want them to use. ”
Highlighting Appropriate Websites
Another teacher, Laima Ardaviciene, uses Wibki to highlight certain sites appropriate for research. For example, each week her students have to prepare a presentation on current events, and they do so by using the links Ms. Ardaviciene added to the class’ Wibki page. Using Wibki is great for K12 Teachers who deal with younger students who don’t know how to type in web addresses or find research sites. For older students, it may help direct them away from the many illegitimate sites towards more credible research sources.
Educational Games and Other Fun!
Many K12 Teachers allow for their students to have free time on the computer as a reward or on rainy days instead of going outside for recess. Teachers using Wibki in their classrooms will find it easy to direct students towards school and age appropriate games for free-time on the computer. They can also use Wibki to direct students to educational games to improve skills and review for tests.
Ms. Day and Ms. Ardaviciene are two examples of teachers who use Wibki in their smart classrooms, but many more K12 teachers are doing so (mrsdistler,
