PLMS - The Best Notebook 10 Training Available

I honestly believe that having a Personal Learning Management System (PLMS) for your school is the most effective and affordable way for schools to protect their investment by providing critical training to teachers who have a SMART Board in the classroom.

Not only is the training effective, it's self-paced and was created to accommodate a teacher's busy schedule. Schools can now provide their entire teaching staff access to the entire Teacher Online Training course library all year long for approximately the same price as bringing in someone to do a single day of training on site. The benefits are just too numerous to mention!

Here's a fun presentation that provides additional information about a PLMS and what it could mean for your school. Please go to the School Subscription Center for more information or to set up a demonstration.

SMART Boards and the Amazing Magic 8 Ball

I would like to share with you an idea for how to use the technique for revealing correct answers that's found in the course Notebook Applications - The Magic Cat's Eye.

Using the exact same techniques used to build the Magic Cat's Eye, Valerie Byrnes thought it would be more fun to create a Magic 8 Ball that provided students with feedback on whether they are correct.

Here's a video that demonstrates how both the Magic Cat's Eye and the Magic 8 Ball will provide instantaneous feedback to students.

Here are some course testimonials for the course Notebook Applications - The Magic Cat's Eye:

Magic Cat's Eye is the coolest application I've seen and Jim makes it so easy to create yourself! I can't wait to WOW my students with it!
 ~Sue P.

What a treat! I love finding out about new techniques to include in my Notebook lessons that will WOW my students.

Here are some testimonials from the course Notebook Application - Turn on the Light

"I learn so much from Mr. Hollis' courses. The step-by-step instruction in small increments allows me to go back and forth from his instruction to my own notebook file so I don't get lost.  I heartily recommend this course."
  ~Mary S.

"Another fantastic course! It's great for most levels! Easy to follow instructions, go at your own pace in the comfort of your own home! What else could you ask for? I will definitely recommend this to my coworkers!"

While I knew many of the tasks you were explaining, the idea was great and I found myself listening to the audio rather than watching the video as I worked on my file. I am delighted with the finished product. Keep up the great work James."

SMART Boards and a Fun Technique for Revealing Information

Want to learn a fun and exciting technique for expanding text and revealing hidden information?

I've just developed a short-course for Notebook 10 that walks you step-by-step through the process of creating an application that will magically reveal The Student of the Day.

Oh, by the way, this course is free!

It's just my way of saying "thank you" to everyone for visiting my blog, Teachers Love SMART Boards, and my Notebook 10 training site, Teacher Online Training.

Teachers can use this simple but powerful technique on their SMART Board in a myriad of ways to dramatically reveal any information to the students.

While this technique is easy to learn, there is a secret to making the words magically expand right in front of your eyes. This technique is sure to "WOW" even the most experienced Notebook user.

(Note: This technique is very different from the technique described in the course Notebook Application - The Magic Cat's Eye. The technique in The Magic Cat's Eye is much more powerful and versatile).

This course contains nine short video tutorials that guide participants in creating their hands-on assignment. Participants who successfully meet the course objectives receive a Certificate of Completion for 45 Professional Development minutes. One of the great thing about the courses is the Forum area where teachers share their ideas for how to use what they learned during the course. For example, this technique could also be used as a fun way to introduce The Word of the Day.

To enroll in this course, just click on the course Notebook Technique - Student of the Day over at Teacher Online Training (the course is listed toward the bottom of the page). After you log in, you will be asked if you want to enroll in the course and then you will be taken directly to the course. If you do not already have an account on Teacher Online Training, you can create a free account in a few easy steps.
