SMART Board Best Resources

It's always great to start off the new year with a comprehensive list of SMART Board web resources. I have so many to share but I thought it would be fun to give you the list of responses that were submitted by members of the SMART Board Revolution Ning.

Member Lucy Gray asked the community to respond with their favorite SMART Board resources. Lucy submitted her own by sharing http://www.willard.k12.mo.us/co/tech/smartbrd.htm. Here are the other responses:

Smartboard Notebook is incredible software for instruction. I am working at training teachers to use the software. The following website has a lot of links to good places to download Notebook files already made up for just about any grade and subject. The ones with stars at the top have links to Smartboard Notebook.

This has got to be one of the best Smartboard Notebook websites I have found so far. The lessons are very interactive for all grades and all subjects. This would be a great resource for showing the potential and ideas of how Smartboard Notebook software can be used. It is free to signup and then have fun downloading.

I have used online comic creators with early years classrooms to learn about body parts and descriptive language. You could also capture the children's avatars and ise them in interactive lessons. Children could also learn how to animate the page tool with their avatar (notebook10) or use the video recorder to animate and retell a story.

I looked at the links on here. I've seen a lot of them before. I'm just struck by the math interactive java, flash, and shockwave interactive sites and can't help but think that there is no reason not to be using these with almost every math lesson. There's something for about every topic. What a great time to be a teacher!

I use del.icio.us to tag my favorite websites. Here is a link to mine:

There are lots of smartboard files on my blog http://rsteacher.edublogs.org (they are on a separate page from the main resources)

I love http://www.rainforestmaths.com for the k-6 crowd - every math concept imaginable is found on this site. There are no popups or advertising...It also has not ever been down for us. I love it!!!!

As a resource in general for internet sites http://www.internet4classrooms.com/index.htm is a great resource for finding grade level specific skills to practice on the internet. I use it all the time to find new sites for my students. Many of the sites are perfect for interaction on the SMARTBoard.

there is a site i go to often to find websites etc ... it is called www.2learn.ca ... it has many areas and at first might seem unfriendly but it has a wealth of information ... my favorite part of the site is the place where they have categorized interactive websites by grade and curriculum ... that is alberta curriculum ... here are the links

Gr K - 3 http://www.2learn.ca/abc/default.html
Gr 4 -6 http://www.2learn.ca/kids/
Gr 7 - 9 http://www.2learn.ca/teens/

just move the mouse to the menus at the top of the page to see hidden menus ... these are excellent interactive sites for any IWB or smartboard

What an amazing list of resources brought to you by some of the most experienced SMART Board users out there.

I would like to add two more from my friends Dave, Scott, and Anne Marie:

• Teaching With Smartboard
• Talking SMARTBoards & Much More

Sharing is Caring!
