The Growth of a Nation
Here is a wonderful interactive resource on the growth of the United States that is appropriate for all grades. It contains an interactive map, audio narration and embedded timelines. It's perfect for use with a SmartBoard. Many thanks to Jim Hollis for this wonderful resource.

As we complete our second day of SmartBoard training, let's take a moment to reflect on all we've learned. How will your use this training to change your teaching practice? How can your new insights into multiple intelligences help your students learn? How has your confidence level changed over the past two days? Please take a moment to reflect and communicate with us.
As we continue to grow to meet our teachers' academic and technology integration needs, we have designed this two day SmartBoard Institute. During these two days, we will complete Smartboard training where we learn to (1) set up the device, (2) reorganize our classrooms, (3) design multimedia, interactive lessons using the SmartBoard Notebook software, (4) explore current learning theories, (5) design multiple content specific lessons based on our own pacing calendars, (6) present our work to our peers, (7) develop a learning community through ongoing online communications. Welcome!
