Automatic rotations slides provide a structured routine for students and teachers to follow during daily instruction. All you have to do is click "Start Slideshow" and voila! You are ready to teach!!
So why should you use automatic rotations boards over regular slides?
- There is no need to set your own timer or watch the clock. The timers will automatically start, stop, and transition to the next slide when time is up!
- Students become more independent. Student become used to a routine that is associated with the slides and times being consistent. They know exactly where to look to know the expectation.
- These slides are completely editable to make them just right for you and your class! Determine the number of groups, number of rotations, and number of minutes for the timer and you are all set. You can also create your own icons to match your own classroom supports and needs.
How will this work in your classroom?
- Reading & Math Small Groups
- Rotations can support small groups to allow for differentiated instruction. You have the ability to focus all of your time and energy on the specific group you are working with, as the rest of the class knows what they are expected to do.
- Support teachers - ELD teachers, Special Educators, para educators, Focus teachers, and Interventionists - benefit just as much as the classroom teacher and students. There is no longer guessing for how long the groups will last, and they can visually see the schedule as well as the additional activities for the students.
- Collaborative Group Work & Timed Activities
- Provide time for students to work collaboratively in groups with a timer ready to go.
- The slides can rotate to work with another group, or to switch roles in a task.
