Teachers Love SMART Boards

Funny Teacher Videos

It's been a long time since I've added to the Laugh Break category so I went searching my network of blogs to see if I could find anything fun to share with my readers. It took me less than a minute to find this video on one of my favorite blogs called Cool Cat Teacher.

Please check out Vicki's blog post Funday Monday: A Few videos to make you smile for more fun videos. Thanks for sharing Vicki

SMARTBoards and Zentation

I'm reviewing an interesting site called Zentation which allows you to combine a video with a PowerPoint presentation. I believe this to be such a powerful way of communicating that I will be working on creating a few instructional videos for use inside the classroom. This is obviously a great tool for the SMART Board since teachers and students can use the SMART Board to write notes, capture screens, and share what is being presented. Since I haven't created any videos on this site yet, I thought I would show you a fun example of this technology. Here is a short "Zentation" that's sure to make you smile. As you watch the video on the left, pay attention to the PowerPoint on the right.

What is Zentation?

Zentation offers the richest media on the web for video and presentations. Zentation provides a way to synchronize video uploaded to Google Video with your PowerPoint. Zentation's patent pending technology allows for the easy synchronization of your video and graphics without any technical knowledge.

Twelve Days of Christmas

(Scroll down for SMARTBoard Christmas activities)

The original members of Straight No Chaser perform their comedic version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" at the Musical Arts Center, Bloomington, Indiana. December 7th, 1998.

This could be a lot of fun to show on your SMART Board. It's absolutely brilliant!

I couldn't resist putting this up on my blog.

Enjoy!
