Episode 7
Jim Hollis and Harvey Almarode are back with a fun Christmas Holiday SMART Board podcast. Jim and Harvey discuss and share their favorite Christmas flash file to make the students laugh. The flash files can be downloaded from the podcast website and inserted into Notebook. Harvey shares his Twelve Brats of Christmas Notebook application that challenges students to match up the right Christmas gift with each of the 12 brats. Not to be outdone, Jim shares his collection of Holiday Word Search puzzles that he's made from teacher requests. Finally, Jim and Harvey discuss how to instantly grab the students' attention from the very beginning of a lesson presented in Notebook.

Miscellaneous
Notebook File Downloads: If you experience problems opening the Notebook files, make sure you Save the file instead of Opening the file. If the file extension gets changed to <.zip> after you save the file, rename the file so the extension is <.notebook> and you should then be able to open the file using Smart Notebook. Switching to the Firefox browser may also help.
