Interactive whiteboards are more than just glorified overhead projectors - the interactive tools allow teachers to create lessons that actively engage students in creative ways. I hope to add more items to this page throughout the year - great links to other websites and my favorite Smartboard files. For now, it's a somewhat random listing of files that I've either created or
discovered on the Internet.
The Hat - A great tool for choosing students randomly! You do have to download and install this free program on your computer, and it is only available for PCs. For ideas on how to use the hat, download Laura's strategies.Note: These files require Smartboard Notebook 10. A free trial of that program can be downloaded from www.smarttech.com. Some of the activities have directions, but you'll have to figure out the others on your own. :-)
Smartboard Mini Pack: Polygon Explorations for the Smartboard
Attention Firefox users! Right click on each file name below to download the file and open it using your Notebook 10 software. Otherwise, you'll just see gibberish!
