Smart Board Project #13

The results of this presentation are as follows:

1. What state was not in the original 13 colonies? Oregon (All answers were correct.)
2. Which was the first of the 13 colonies? Virginia (All were answered correctly.)
3. Which of the following states is located in the western part of the country? California (Everyone answered correctly.)
4. Between what two states is the capital of the United States located? Maryland and Virginia (This surprised me. No one answered this correctly even though we told the answer in the presentation.)
5. The capital of New York is New York. False (Everyone got it right.)
6. The capital of Virginia is Richmond. True (All answered correctly.)
7. Virginia was founded in 1629. False (This was shocking to me. One person answered this incorrect and it had been covered in the presentation.)
8. Where is Montana located? West (One person answered incorrect and everyone else was correct.)
9. Where is New Jersey located? East (Everyone answered this correctly.)
10. Where is Nebraska located? Central (All participants answered this correctly.)
11. As a bonus we asked: What is the capital of Alabama? Montgomery (Everyone answered this correctly. If someone had answered incorrectly, I would have been shocked.)


Overall, I really enjoyed working with the Smart Board and giving a presentation using it. The results were good, but it shows that we need to find other ways so that the students retain the information better. From the information that I have provided, it is mainly the location of the states and dates that people did not remember as well.  I will take this information, and find a way so that students remember the information given to them better.  I would gladly use the Smart Board for another presentation.
