(#50) 50 Things We Love About SMARTBoard

A Video Podcast about Creating Engaging 6-12 Math Lessons using the SmartBoard.

Great podcast on Smartboard usage

"Often times when I go into a classroom to work with students and iPads I connect my iPad to whatever projection system exists in the room. I'm pretty comfortable unplugging cables from computers, but not everyone is. Recently I set up a bunch of schools with a one-touch solution to switch their SMARTboard or projector between their computer and their iPad."

"If you have only one iPad, use Apple's VGA adapter ($29) to connect your iPad to a smartboard. No smartboard? Grab an LCD projector, VGA adapter, and speakers, if you wish, for your iPad, then check out the simple how-to video below. If you have just one smartphone, pop your phone under a document camera. You can also use an adapter to project the smartphone; however, not all apps will function properly. (Unless a class is using Apple's presentation software, Keynote, I use a document camera to display my smartphone.) Use your single iPad or smartphone to blast content onto the big screen and let kids work together for an engaging mini-lesson. Then have students use the single device when working in small groups, as a reward, or during center time."

Using the SMARTBoard to Support Math

Smartboard Lessons created by Longwood Staff (Note: You need the Smart Notebook software installed on your computer to download and use these lessons):

A mini-movie is a simple (most involve only a click of the mouse), interactive animation that teachers can download and add to their galleries. From there, the movies can be inserted into their SMARTBoard Notebook presentations. Each mini-movie is a dynamic Flash file, similar to the same files that are already included in Notebook's resources.
