Castro Valley Adult and Career Education
Timac Project- Engage your students and have fun using the
Interactive white board.
Hi my name is Leticia and I am a CTE instructor for Castro Valley Adult and Career Education. I have been selected to be a peer mentor through the Technology Integration Mentor Academy (TIMAC). TIMAC is a peer-mentoring-based professional development initiative with the goal of supporting individuals at adult education agencies to become the technology mentor for their program(s) and thereby increase the effective use of technology in adult education.

About the Peer-Mentor
This year my project plan is to implement new technology in the classrooms that will not only keep students engaged but make learning fun and interactive. I will do this by introducing the Interactive White Boards (IWB). Instructors can use templates to build fun interactive lessons and/or create their own. I have only been using IWB's in my classroom for just a few months now and have already witnessed the difference. My students are having fun learning and the best part of all the amount of retention has increased. I have also seen student's confidence levels increase. When I use the MimioVote, which is an assessment tool, it can accurately measure student understanding on the spot, with maximum class participation. Join me on my jouney in the next 8 months as I support and train the Castro Valley Adult and Career Education Staff.
