Extended stay is the time that we want students and teachers to spend quality. I am trying to include all the elements of an extended stay in exstendet time itself, connect them and upgrade the educational objectives of the school. After a long day in the classroom the extended stay makes particularly difficult to motivate students for independent learning. This challenge led me to new approaches and interactive resources enriching self learning in the extended stay. So during independend learning, among others, I offered studendst an interactive whiteboard. Students started with a free drawing, continued by drawing various lines and upgrade them with samples, they passed instructions to each other on how to draw based on the instructions they got, draw sequence objects in a certain voice, writing letters, composed and count bills, etc. Students were highly motivated as they tried to find as many solutions and new ideas, proposals that would record them both on board and in the notebook. With this form of work we have achieved a higher level of learning with the students with lower concentration. The advantage of learning and practicing in front of the the board is to everyone see someones work, because of that a lot of students who just observe can get a new idea. When students draw on the blackboard different lines, they train fine hand motor skills, which is the basis for the writing numbers and letters. They train a sense of how to push and hold the stylus on the board. We didnt stop by drawing on the blackboard, things that weve done on the board and in the notebook we connected and upgraded them into interactive games, which today consolidate the acquired knowledge. And what they tell students what they liked? Nika: »That, when we work samples.« Teja: »When I drew.« Živa: »Sorting frames in circles.« Noel: »Because it is bigger than notebook.« Pina: »When I draw things on the blackboard.« Meta: When I am drawing on board with my finger.« Anja: »When I play games.« Žiga: »I like it, because it is easier to erase, as in the notebook.« Mark: »When I compound words.« Meta: »When we composed and solve puzzles.«
