SMARTBoards and the Disappearing Halloween Ghost

[James Hollis]

[Original post found on Teachers Love SMART Boards blog]

My readers are amazing! I've actually had 58 correct entries in the first two Smart Notebook challenges. However, that's not what I find amazing. What's so amazing is the creativity that was demonstrated by many of the teachers who submitted entries.

I've been so inspired by all the great work that I thought I would express a little creativity of my own and try to make a fun Halloween Notebook application for the SMARTBoard to share with my readers.

The end result of my Notebook "play time" was a Halloween Ghost Countdown. It can be used to announce the winner of five correct answers to any game that's played. Each time a students gets a correct answer, they touch on the ghost and the ghost starts to fade away. When the ghost is totally gone, a message is displayed to announce the winner.

Here's a screen shot of the countdown:

It takes five correct answers to make the ghost disappear. Each time the ghost is touched, it fades away a little more and displays a new message.
