This week's Smart Notebook Challenge is to produce a cool effect for revealing secret information. I have not used this technique in the classroom yet but I'm sure it'll be a big hit with the students as well as add a little excitement when you need to reveal some simple information to the class using your SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
The technique will allow students (or teachers) to drag a picture on the Smartboard into a box and have it suddenly reveal some secret information.
Here's this week's video description of the Smart Notebook Challenge #2:
If you need any hints, please send me an email. I will accept challenge results through Thursday, October 2. I'll be awarding free Smart Notebook professional development opportunities to the 1st ten successful entries. All other successful entries will be entered into the Teachers Love SMART Board Hall of Fame.
Please send your Notebook file for Challenge #2 to me at jim@teacherslovesmartboards.com.
If you're having problems viewing this video, you can watch it on YouTube.
Good luck!
Sharing is Caring!
Jim I am doing an inservice with teachers next week. Do the challenges come with solutions? I only see the solution to challenge one, am I missing something?

I sure would be nice if the videos were actually useful so that teachers could know how to do the effect. They are pretty useless without that information.

Teacher, You're right, it would be nice if there were solutions. That's why I posted solutions. The solution for Challenge #2 is here:
