Reflection on artifact:
I have found one downside of using the white boards so publicly is that students who do not know the answer
will look to their neighbors board, or what for a classmate to show me. These students then write down the
answer and dont do the work to prove it. A way I am working on to get around this is asking students to
show the ceiling their answer as opposed to me. I can then make my way around the classroom as I normally
would and still observe the work. Students who I see struggling will be those I work with independently or in a
small group setting. I think the white boards are a great tool for students to use and a great tool for myself to
check for understanding without a formal assessment.
