Easily transferable SMART Notebook files

This weekend I decided to put together some Smart Board presentations for my classes for the upcoming week. I thought they were pretty cool and I decided to share them with some of my fellow

teachers. Since the file is a SMART Notebook format it’s easy to send

to a colleague or your students. You can quickly email a Notebook or

PDF file to them by selecting “Send To -> Mail Recipient” from the

file menu. It will open your email program and have the file…

Next Step with Smart Boards......

My high school faculty and staff have Smart Boards in every classroom. They have been trained with Level 1 and Level ll training. Some of my teachers want to utilize the board for more then just a "glorified overhead". Any suggestions on training for high school teachers that will take us to the next level in Smart Boarding???? Thanks for any suggestions! Judy

Librarians -- how do you use the smartboard to teach literacy skills?

Hi -- I'm taking an online class on how to use the smartboard. One of my assignments is to interview teachers/librarians who use it daily in their classrooms. Can anyone give me feedback on how they use it in their classroom/media center to teach literacy skills?

Proof That SMART Boards are Engaging

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a bit of rant, found here:



http://sharpsav.com/blog/if-you-ever-needed-proof.html



The topic of this full blog post? The fact that people tend to dispute the fact that SMART Boards are actually engaging for students. I've combated this fallacy with my opinions and some excellent pictures showing otherwise.



As the old saying goes, a picture's worth a thousand… Continue

My #1 Tip for Using SMART Response

I thought it was time to take a break for a few days from posting links to my 'how to' Math Tools videos. Instead, I wrote a post on SMART Response a few weeks ago.



Many people don't realize how incredibly easy it is to shift over from traditional assessment methods to using Response -- this post discusses my #1 tip for easing your fears!…

Middle School English (or Language Arts) Teachers - Help!

I am in the process of putting together a presentation for Middle School teachers on how to use their SMART Boards for their subject/grade level. I'm interested to hear from you if you are a teacher of middle school language arts. How do you use your SMART Board? What have your students responded to most positively?

SMART Notebook Math Tools - Part III

Time for another installation of my mini-imitation blog!

In this post, I've reviewed yet another feature of the new Math Tool bar available in SMART Notebook -- the wide variety of new shapes (apparently also known as regular polygons -- who knew?)

I too have only used SMART Board technology but so far it has been incredibly easy to use and is very student friendly. Working in special ed. some of my students require technology and my SMART Board has always lived up to my expectations. It has made such a difference with students who have language disabilities, physical disabilities and even emotional disabilities. It can be what each students needs when they need it. I don't know what I would do without it. Continue

smartboard

I work in a district with MAC laptops. I work with 4 other math teachers that have used the Smartboard for 2 years. It was not been easy to get the software to work well with the MAC. The new version of Notebook does not even have a MAC version. I also use the Senteo clickers. For a math teacher there must be better software than this!

Hello Lance,

I have seen many people comment on the SMART Board and its use vs Promethean. I am an 8th grade teacher that could not do without the SMART Board when teaching my students Physical Science. I have noticed many comments about more "prepared" lessons available for the Promethean, but in my opinion the strength of the SMART Board is in the creation of your own lessons using the powerful Notebook software. It is SO easy to use and imports pictures and videos SO easily that I…

Smart Board

My experience with Smart Technologies and Smart Boards has been a wonderful experience for at least 5 years. I have never met a computer product that is as user friendly as theirs. The gallery that comes with the smart board is stocked with tons of worksheets, flash files with every kind of moveable tool imaginable to use to teach every subject. Every application or tool I ever wished for has been emailed to the company on a wish list and within 6 months has been on the very next update.…

Love my SmartBoard!!

Having a SmartBoard in my classroom has engaged my students, empowered them to lead discussion, participate more fully in whole class lessons, and allowed for differentiation and ease of make up work for absent students. I use my SmartBoard daily and cannot image going back and teaching without it!

Many of my blog posts on my blogger blog (how many times can I say "blog" in a sentence?!?) are directly linked to SMART products. As such, I'm going to start a mini-imitation blog here, with links to those original posts.
