How to use the SMARTNotebook software to create a game.

I consider myself a fairly tech-savvy educator. I spent the summer researching different Web 2.0 tools. I’m familiar with creating websites, I know a little HTML, I’ve blogged, I use Twitter, I’ve used Glogster, Google, RSS feeds, Animoto, Edmodo, the list goes on. I utilize these tools to…
Man, I would love a SMARTBoard workshop. We only use ours as a projector screen. I spend my days irritated that it takes up my chalkboard. I’m sure it can do cool things, but I’ve never gotten to see what any of those are. My mentor does not even know how to write on it with the pen.
At my last job I had a smartboard. I learned a lot by taking the time to play with it. There’s so much it can do, and the Smart Technologies already had pre-made smartboard lessons up based on every state’s standards. It is free to download from them! Also, I find it much easier to write with my finger rather than the pen — you just pick up the pen you want to use, but then use your finger to write.
With this site you can create bar, line, area, pie, and xy graphs.
I used this when I taught K-1 on my smart board to make bar graphs as a class on things like favorite colors, favorite holidays, what color shirt students were wearing, etc. I also had it book marked as one of the activities that students could do in the computer center.
I LOVE the resources on the scholastic website. This one is interactive white board ready. It has a lot of different “mysteries” to practice math skills. It also aligns easily to state standards.
