I'm always on the lookout for new resources to help support teachers integrate various pieces of technology into their classroom practice. While I love spending time with teachers at workshops, the reality is that sometimes they just need a quick 'demo' of some basic features to get them started.
Enter eduTecher: an excellent site devoted to tons of different resources and tutorials to help get teachers up and running with technology in the classroom. A colleague of mine came across a particularly useful video entitled 5 Tips and Tricks for the SmartBoard:
If you're new to SMART Notebook, I highly recommend taking a look at the above video. Funny enough, despite tons of experience with a SMART Board, I was completely unaware of Tip #5 until my SMART certification this past Fall! Just goes to show that sometimes you don't know what you don't know!
I hope this helps those SMART newbies out there!

About Me
- Vanessa Cassie
- Calgary, AB, Canada
- I am an Education Consultant for Sharp's AV based out of Calgary, AB. I provide professional development workshops to our Education clients and consult school divisions on their plan for implementation of technology in the classroom. Specifically, I focus on increasing interactivity in the classroom through web resources, social networking and SMART products. In my former life I was a teacher -- first as a Grade 5 generalist and then as a High School Social Studies specialist. I love current events, politics, sports and, of course, all things "techie".
Vanessa, this is such a well done video...engaging enough to keep our attention through all of the tips.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this video I loved it. Thankyou for reminding me about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I can't take all the credit -- a colleague of mine emailed me this a few weeks ago :) It's a nice reminder that sometimes teachers need a very quick, simplistic intro to get them going.
