SMART table users idea

I'm not a SMART table user (unfortunately) but I have played with the software (a while ago). Any way I found this really cool iPad app which you could use as a template to create a SMART table activity (if one hasn't been created already). Here is the app https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/math-slide-hundreds-tens-ones/id588836426?mt=8 you can download for free and play each game twice without upgrading.See More

Mixed Reality, SMART 3D content

Posted on October 13, 2012 at 2:27am 2 Comments

I've just purchased a SMART document camera. I have been downloading 3D content from SMART Exchange and 3D warehouse in preparation to create some educational resources using 3D content. If any one would like to share and or swap resources/curriculum ideas that would be great. I have uploaded a basic video demonstration about what the 3D content looks like under the video section on this site.

Happy Easter!  Good to hear from you today!  I hope that you are recovering from your skiing injury.  What a bummer!  I recently presented at a conference in New Jersey.  It was very small but fun.  Hopefully, someday I can visit your part of the world... Take care, Colleen

Hi Joanne,

Susan Sims here! Thank you for sharing all of your sites. I thought I would share mine with you! The first link is a portal that I made when I was teaching third grade. Last year I became one of two tech teachers at my school, Fairhope Elementary in Fairhope, Al. The second link is a portal that I made for my tech classes.This portal also includes 1st- 3rd classroom portals as well. The classroom portals are set up by course of study with math, science, and social studies. Reading is set up by Units. http://guest.portaportal.com/ssims2    and http://guest.portaportal.com/simstech

Many years ago several of my classes corresponded with a school in Safety Bay, Australia. My students had so much fun!!! I should say "We" had so much fun!:-)

Thanks again for all of your hard work and for sharing!
