I have a teacher who is going to be teaching Astronomy for grades 6-8 next year and is looking for any Smartboard Astronomy lessons, ideas, interactive websites. Thanks for any suggestions.

Microsoft's unveiled a useful tool this week -- the WorldWide
Telescope. Download the free software
and view the universe as you've never seen it.

I'm sure you've used Celestia - Kids can use it to make movies through an on-board movie recorder, which can beat what the SMART video capture can make. Have the kids use Celestia to capture some nice animations for a multimedia presentation...

Thanks. I will check it out. I haven't used Celestia yet. Here is where I found the download at http://www.shatters.net/celestia/download.html
