| Use MyScreen for School
|
| MyScreen can be used by teachers and students to turn "look-at-this-information-on-the-computer lessons" into lessons that will allow, and could even require, active participation and manipulation.
|
|
|
| This example involves students using MyScreen to complete an assignment on sentences and grammar. They will have to build a sentence from a supplied word bank and then label its parts of speech. A teacher could use this same example to teach sentences and grammar.
|
|
|
| One:
|
| The teacher will create four schemes for use in the assignment. The teacher will create a document containing instructions and a list of usable words at its top. There should also be adequate space for students to write their sentences.
|
| (Our choice is a web page as it can be accessed at home as well as at school. A wordprocessor would work just as well in the classroom.)
|
| Two:
|
| Students will open the assignment document and activate annotation mode.
|
|
|
| Three:
|
| Students will use the Marquee Scheme to select words from the list to drag down into the sentence area. A single click and drag will move the selected word and a double click and drag will copy it.
|
| (For more information on using the Marquee style, see Styles.)
|
|
|
| Four:
|
| Students will use the Noun, Verb, and Adjective Schemes to add the appropriate annotations to their sentence parts of speech.
|
| (For more information on using the Line, Double Line, and Caret styles, see Styles.)
|
|
|
| Five:
|
| Students will wait as the teacher checks their work.
|

|
| Students will print their work for their teacher using MyScreen's Print command.
|
| -or-
|
| Students will email their work to their teacher using MyScreen's Email command.
