Certificates at the end of training2HousekeepingTo provide new users with an introduction to the technology.To provide participants with a general overview of the Smart Board.To provide participants with ideas to enable them to effectively incorporate a SmartBoard into the curriculum. For participants to actively participate in hands-on exploration with Notebook (10 & 10.6) Software and the SmartBoard.3Objectives:Think about it

Who needed to know how to read after the printing press was invented?

Who needed to know how to drive after Henry Ford invented the car?

Who needed to know how to make a phone call after the invention of the telephone?4How Technology Changes Our WorldWho needs to know how to use a computer for productivity and to access information?

Anyone who plans to learn, teach, work, play, govern, buy, sell, or serve in the information society.5Technology will Continue to Change our World5What other tools are considered technology?

What other technologies do you often integrate into your instruction?6Keep in mind that technology in todays classroom can be so much more than a computer and software.6Scanners, printers, cd writer, digital camera, videos, blogs, podcasts, email, and other web based applications, (wikis, live workspaces), smartboard, clickers, document cameras (and now interactive document cameras by avermedia- AverVision CP300), Airwriters, virtual classrooms, cell phones whenever administrators realize the value and the expense saved!, (by putting a layer of software on all brands of phones that allows all students to use their phones for the same function), edugrader pen (ink pen and electronic grading tool that allows teachers to program the highest score possible on an assignment into the pen. It shows the number of points awarded for correct answers, the number of points deducted for wrong answers and maximum points possible.) 7

Add resources7Please share how you are currently using a Smartboard in your classroom if you have access to one. (to view videos, for presentations, etc.)

If you dont have access to an active board, what makes you want one for your classroom?

What advantages do you feel this technology could give you and your students?Do you use a Smartboard?Changes Dynamics of TimeRenews our joy for teaching9Integrating Technology

9Using technology can change the dynamics of time in the classroom. By helping students work more independently; it gives teachers more time to work one-on-one or with small groups of students. It also rejuvenates the teachers love for teaching. Change is good! Enhances our teaching by providing reinforcement

Improves student learning by providing different avenues for students to explore

Another tool to address different learning styles 10Integrating Technology10Technology enhances our teaching by providing exciting material to use to reinforce what we are teaching. It improves student learning by providing different avenues for students to explore. It is another tool which helps us address different learning styles in our classrooms.Integrating technology into your classroom doesn't necessarily mean scheduling a weekly or monthly class trip to the computer lab.

For students, technology integration is about incorporating easy-to-use tools, activities, and program features into your lesson plans to enhance learning. 11When technology is used wisely, it can improve critical thinking and communication skills, and increase motivation in students. 1213The SMART Board13

SMART Board Activities

Lets switch to discussing the Notebook so we can see how the SMART Board can be used for many school subjects...

hello

Language Arts:Brainstorming, editing, highlighting important words or new vocabulary, electronic word walls, e-portfolios

Math:Create and save formulas, graphs, and equations easily; have students demonstrate problem solving on the fly or collaboratively

Social Studies/Science:Show relationships between words and ideas with Inspiration/Kidspiration, manipulate onscreen tools in interactive maps, simulations

Smartboard in the subject areasEnhancing class discussions

Modeling

Demonstrating

AnnotatingInteractive teaching strategiesImages as a stimulus for discussion ex. Frogs Life Cycle

Brainstorming ex. Inspriration

Sorting

Disclosure exercises (ex. number lines)

Enhancing Class Discussionshttp://www.vtaide.com/png/frog.htm Model a skill or concept ex. dissection, virtual lab

Create your own notebook template

Record your notes on the board ex. Math problem, diagram, outlineModelingHyperlinks:

http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/virtual.php

http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/cow_eye/step01.htmlTeaching a new concept or skill ex. Haiku

Peer teaching

Annotate with additional information & notesDemonstrating/Annotatinghttp://www.webenglishteacher.com/haiku.html

Collaborative writing ex. Notebook, blogs, wikis

Create new notebook template with class

Group problem solving ex. perimeter activityCollaborationMathBuild graphs

Explore patterns

Equivalent fractions

Percentages

TimeMathhttp://www.helpwithfractions.com/equivalent-fractions.html

Objective: Show and explain perimeter and area of an object*In this activity, students are asked to find the area of various shapes and can change the perimeter of each shape. A relationship between perimeter and area can be discussed with the class. The students could write an explanation directly on the screen about how they found their answer. They could also draw other shapes on the screen with the same perimeter or area in order to compare results.Online perimeter and area game63

Objective: Collect data and display results using a bar graph*This lesson used a program called The Graph Club. The students can collect data and represent it in a table as well as on a graph. The data can be manipulated on the table to immediately show a change on the graph, or vice versa. Extension questions can be written and displayed in order to differentiate instruction.

Objective: Explain and make change from a given amount using bills and coins*Students are asked to make change from a given amount of money. This activity provides a real-life example of when this skill might be used. Students can physically move the amount of money that they need from the cash register to the counter. Immediate feedback is given by selecting Check My Change. For lower-level students, a number sentence can be written directly on the board in order to help them find the correct answer. http://justkidsgames.com/play.php?MakingChange 65

Objective: Select and use efficient strategies to add and subtract larger numbers.*In our math program, the students are introduced to place value (tens, hundreds, and ones) as flats, skinnies, and bits. These manipulatives are used throughout lessons involving addition and subtraction. SMART Board Notebook software allows students to manipulate these pieces on-screen, as well as to show their work. To differentiate instruction, this activity can be saved and printed out for students who may need extra assistance with this skill. Language ArtsCheck authenticity of a websiteExplore editing and proofreading marksHighlight words in sentences and paragraphs- use online literatureUsing highlighter tool to show parts of speechUse a story starter to write a class storyShow a book cover for predicting and analysis

Communication Arts

Objective: Identify and compare characters, setting, events, problems and solutions *The program Kidspiration can be used to create a graphic organizer. This organizer can then be manipulated on-screen and then saved to be printed, emailed, or posted to a classroom website. The same organizer can be used to compare different books throughout the year.

Objective: Increase vocabulary and meaning using root/base words *Words can be posted on-screen and the students can use the SMART Board markers or their fingers to circle prefixes/suffixes and underline root words. This activity was created using Microsoft PowerPoint which is installed on both the classroom computers as well as the iBooks.

Objective: Differentiate fact from opinion *This activity was found online through the website Internet4Classrooms. Students are given a review of facts and opinions and are then given an online assessment. This would be a great activity to use as a whole group lesson. After completing this activity as a whole group, the students could individually take this assessment on the iBooks or on the computers in the classroom. This assessment could then be put in the students working portfolio. Objective: Write in cursive style*This template, designed through SMART Notebook, can be used to introduce and practice cursive style as a whole group. SMART Board markers can be used to form each letter. The page can then be saved and printed, to be given for extra practice for struggling students. This page can also be used to write class stories. The entire writing process, including editing and revising, could be modeled easily using this template. After the story is completed, it could be saved, printed out, added to portfolios, or even posted on a classroom website.

Objectives: Read to gain information; use appropriate resource materials*Students can use the program World Book Online, which is installed on the classroom computers and iBooks, to research topics that we are studying. In addition, a lesson can be taught on picking out important information by using a highlighter. Then the class can practice taking notes on what they have learned, by using the Sticky Note feature with the SMART Keyboard or SMART markers. Science & Social StudiesExplore habitats, landforms, etc.Compare characteristics and properties (ex. Rocks/minerals, plant/animal cells)Conduct a dissection (ex. Owl pellet)Explore science visuals and processes (ex. Cell parts, electrical circuit, life cycle, water cycle)Explore solar system and moreGo on virtual field trips (ex. Google Earth)Record science data (ex. Wind, temperature, etc.)Sciencehttp://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/dlc-me/zoo/

http://www.kidwings.com/owlpellets/flash/v4/index.htm

Objective: Compare and contrast life cyclesThe life cycle of a butterfly, plant, and chicken are all studied in my third grade class. The students could represent these life cycles through Kidspiration. Pictures or videos of each cycle could be used to represent each stage. Many student-friendly videos can be found on the website, TeacherTube (http://www.teachertube.com).

Build timelinesCompare time periods, groups, and civilizationsCompare political partiesExamine primary resource materialsLabel mapsIdentify branches of governmentShow development of cities, movement of people, developments of products (ex. food from farm to city)Take virtual field trips

Social Studies

Objective: Create a map on a grid and measure distance using a bar scale*Using the program Kidspiration, the students could design a map of their neighborhood or use their imagination to make a neighborhood of their own. After creating a map key and scale, the students could measure distances between points on the map to convert to actual distances.

Objective: Explain how the Westward Movement contributed to the growth of the western U.S.*Students can make a timeline using the program TimeLiner, which is installed on our classroom computers as well as the iBooks. A class timeline could be saved and added to throughout the unit. At the end of the unit, this timeline could be saved and printed out for each student, or posted on a classroom website. PowerPointShow a ppt and write notes while you do it.Like your notes? Save them on the PowerPoint when your finished.Want them gone for the next class? Put the pen back in the tray and they disappear.Oops, they disappeared. Hit restore or go to the menu and click restore drawing.WordUse a word document to teach, show an assignment, or reference a paper you wrote.Like what you came up with as a class?
