For today's post I have tracked down two videos that I think offer some interesting ways to use your SMART board in your classroom.
The first is Titled 5 Tips and Tricks for the SMARTboard and it was uploaded by Adam Bellow.
The video opens with the fact that a SMART board alone isn't enough for great lesson plans which leads into our first tip: You don't even need the smartboard to plan your lessons; explaining that all you really need is the technology from the Smart Notebooks on your computer. The next tip shows us three features of the Magic Pen that are activated by different pen strokes. The third tip is to use the My Content folder in your gallery in order to have quick access to frequently used pictures. The fourth tip is that documents and PDF's are draggable when you import them onto the screen. The fifth and final tip is one that would have been handy while I was substituting last week: To erase the full screen circle all the writing with the eraser and tap the middle of the board.
The next is titled 5 Minute PD on how to use Smart Exchange uploaded by Jesse Herbert.
In this video you will get a quick overview of just a few of the features on Smart Exchange. First, you learn how to create an account. Then, we are shown some of the different ways to search for lesson plans. In the video we see an attendance activity and we are walked through everything from downloading to importing to customizing. This video was a quick intro to smartboard and helpful in walking through the whole process of integrating Smart Exchange plans into your own classroom.
