SMART Boards and Secret Resource Locations
2008-03-19 13:50:00 Shhhhh. I have a secret. Make sure everyone has left the room. Did you know that you can save and share your favorite websites with other people? You can! And one great way to do this is by using del.icio.us. del.icio.us is called a social bookmarking website. You can use del.icio.us to: * Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more, and access them from any computer on the web. * Share favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community. * Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite -- they've already done the work of finding it. So del.icio.us is full of bookmarks about technology, entertainment, useful information, and more. Explore and enjoy.So what's the big deal? Well, a lot of people who use SMART Boards save their favorite interactive whiteboard websites using del.icio.us. Here are two great del.icio.us sites to browse through if you're looking for some good resources: ... More About: Smart , Secret , Locations , Resource
SMART Board and Litebrite
2008-03-18 15:44:00 I know a lot of teachers are looking for some fun activities for the SMART Board this week. I am very disappointed with many of the Internet games I've found for the Spring/Easter holiday due to the number of advertisements contained on these websites. Therefore, I'm going to share with you another fun site that will allow your students to create, share, and save pictures using a "Lite Brite" online simulator. You could have your students create a fun holiday picture or use it as an educational tool by having your students design patterns or different types of shapes. I think it's a simple and fun tool to use on your SMARTBoard interactive whiteboard. Sharing is Caring! More About: Smart

Subscribing to SMART Board Resources
2008-03-14 15:12:00 Recently, I posted a short article called "Sharing is Caring" on the new Digital Learning Environments website. In this article I discuss why teachers should share what they know and I provide some great examples of how other teachers are sharing resources. The easiest way to keep up-to-date with what other teachers are sharing is to subscribe to their resources so you're notified whenever they make updates.

Smartboard and Math Dictionary
2008-01-10 17:58:00 I love when readers of Teachers Love SMART Boards recommend SMART Board resources. Sharing resources is the ultimate goal of this blog. I have been getting some great recommendations lately through my twitter network, the Teachers Love SMART Board forum, and direct email. I want to share one of these recommendations today that was posted on the forum by TechMom. The site is called A Math s Dictionary for Kids 2007 created by Jenny Eather. What's great about this site is how thorough it is. Moreover, many definitions include interactions (perfect for the Smartboard) to reinforce the material and make it easier to understand. What a wonderful way to introduce new math concepts! Thank you "TechMom" for this wonderful suggestion!!! Sharing is caring!

SMART Board and Sketchcast
2008-01-08 20:56:00 I would like to show you two videos. The first video demonstrates how I used the SMART Board interactive whiteboard to record a Sketchcast that describes how to do a math problem. The second video is the actual Sketchcast video that was created during the first video. Confused? That's okay, you won't be after you watch these short videos. So sit back, put your feet up and enjoy learning about this wonderful tool called Sketchcast that can be used with your SMART Board (or without it) to create amazing instruction videos for your students.

SMART Board and Imagination Cubed
2008-01-07 15:11:00 I'm so excited this morning since so many teachers are returning to the classroom today; I always loved returning from Winter break full of new ideas and new enthusiasm. I have a great new tool recommended to me by my good friend Lori called Imagination Cubed from GE. This is a great tool to use with your SMART Board ! Basically it allows you to draw anything on the SMART Board using freehand or shape tools. What's cool about it is that you can replay what you did and it will animate your drawing and play it back for you. It also allows you to share, collaborate, and update drawing with multiple people. You can even invite people to come and draw with you. You really need to try to see what it does. Trust me, you'll love it!! Thanks for sharing Lori! Sharing is Caring! More About: Smart
Smartboards and Animal Care Lessons
2008-01-06 15:23:00 My good friend Danny from across the pond tipped me off on the UK's RSPCA website for learning about caring for animals. The RSPCA promotes kindness and preventing cruelty to animals and in doing so has created a great interactive resource for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard. The beautifully designed learning resource includes engaging graphics that discuss how to find a home, how to care for your pet, and what rights are provided to animals under the law. All the activities are set up to work great on the Smartboard and the interactive story called Jake and Bones is a wonderful way to learn about finding a new home for your pet. This site has been SMART Board tested and Hollis approved. Sharing is Caring! More About: Animal , Care , Lessons

Smartboard and Sudoku
2008-01-01 17:32:00 I had a request for an online Sudoku game that works easily with the SMART Board.
