Smartboards in the Classroom

Our friends at "Teachers Love SMART Boards" have brought a wonderful site to us from the Oak Street Elementary School in Plattsburgh, NY.  It has a range of interactive stories for K-5 classrooms.  Here's an image from one of the stories. Enjoy! 

The link is attached below.

Groundhog Day is a great favorite here in New York.  It's the day that we watch to see if a groundhog sees its shadow and predicts when Spring will finally arrive.  Not very scientific, of course, but great fun.

Here's a lesson from Jim Hollis that contains some new SmartBoard techniques.       Enjoy!

Isn't technology amazing?!  SMART is now introducing a SMART Table that brings tactile instruction down to the student level for Pre-K-3ers.  Using the same technology that's in the free-standing and wall mounted SmartBoards, the SMART table allows students to manipulate objects on a much more personal level, in small groups or alone.  See the attached link for videos of the students in action.

Finally!  A student-centered product for our young students.  Well Done!

Here's a website from our fellow educators across the pond at the Birmingham City Council.  Very interesting use of "twout".

My heart lives in Kindergarten.  Here's the website of a wonderful Kindergarten teacher who is kind enough to share her work with us.  Enjoy!
