Hello Helen,
Thank you for your interest in our SMART Teacher class.  We have had an overwhelming response to the class.  The ultimate power of the class is the required coaching that helps implement the items we have instructed during the face to face instruction.  I have attached an overview of what we cover in our class.   Each Face to Face session runs for 3 hours.


Day 1    Face To Face---Overview of SMART Products—SmartBoard, SMART Notebook, SMART Response, SMART Slate, and Inkaware.  Class homework expectations reviewed and assigned.
Day 1     Coaching--3 Hours with Technology Coach
Day 2    Face To Face--Homework demonstrated and discussed. Continuation of SMART products including recorder, attachments, images, video and additional SMART tools.  Homework assigned.
Day 2     Coaching--2 Hours with Technology Coach
Day 3    Face To Face--Homework demonstrated and discussed.  SMART Lesson Activity Tool Kit, including peer discussion on application of tools to curriculum and classroom use.  Homework assigned.
Day 3     Coaching--2 Hours with Technology Coach
Days  4 & 5  Face To Face--Homework demonstrated and discussed.  SMART Response Systems and use for classroom assessment along with analysis of data using Excel and instructional impact.  Homework assigned.
Days 4 & 5 Coaching 4 Hours with Technology Coach
Day 6    Face to Face--Verbal report on Day 5 homework and reports generated from their SMART Response data. Each class member will also present a homework assignment that had significant impact on teaching and learning. Presentation of class certificates along with course feedback is completed.


Coaching    All participants will receive 12 hours of coaching that will be divided among the 6 days of class. Coaching logs will be kept.
Homework    Rubrics for each class assignment will be given to the students so course assignment expectations are clear.

I hope this helps you get started on your planning for your class.  It's taken a few years to work the pacing and get all the notes solidified.

Helen, I am in GA also and have some handouts you may be interested in. They are mostly Tips and Tricks. I have done many classes using these and some other resources along this line. I am in the training department at Unifiedav.

I am a Tech Specialist at Kennesaw State University.  I have been through SMART training, redelivered - but it is more HOW to use the board.  Teachers have been trained on how to use the board, where they can find lessons, they now want to create their own lesson plans but do not feel equipped to do so (and with time constraints many don't try at all).

Do you have any suggestions, materials, handouts, rubrics, lessons that you would be willing to share?  I feel that training needs to move from HOW To use the board - to a format where their training starts with how to build a sample lesson from scratch - how to ensure it meets standards - perhaps follows a rubric - and as they build that lesson they learn to use the tools.   Each successive training class has them create more lessons - more advanced concepts are learned - and more tools learned. 

I would appreciate any ideas, resources, links, comments, and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Helen Maddox

Here is a link with an abundance of resources for teaching with SMARTboards created by Patricia Marcino in Panama City, Florida.

Second_Day_Smart_Response.notebook

 

This is a file I have used as part of a 5 day graduate course for beginner users.  As the title indicates, I used it as a checkin, and also as a way to introduce the great templates that are available in the gallery for Smart Response.

I would like to start using the Smart Response System to review after smart trainings. Has anyone made any assessments to use in this way? Thanks!
