Two practical ideas for using Wordle on a SMARTBoard.

Detailed description (and video) of a vocabulary game using wordle word clouds. The blogger had created a wordle and covered up the words with with rectangles. Students came to the SMARTBoard one at a time to touch the rectangle and reveal a word. Then they used a spinner to tell them to use the word in a sentence, tell how many syllables, or give a synonym or antonym. The rectangles were colour coded by degree of difficulty so the teacher could differentiate instruction. You can download the Notebook file, and the blogger promises a tutorial for this idea.

A wall of reasons why teachers love smartboards. I would like to help school administrators better understand why teachers love using SMART Boards in the classroom. The more informed they are about the benefits of having a SMART Board in the classroom, the more likely they are to move closer to putting more SMART Boards in the classroom.

Thanks for this post, Jim. This looks like a great assortment of instant video tutorials. I watched the fossil lesson and found it quite entertaining. It was set up as a quest where you had to learn about fossils in the hall of knowledge before earning the right to visit different geological regions.

Excellent site with online math manipulatives. Would be great on the SMARTBoard. A digital library containing Java applets and activities for K-12 mathematics

Great book by David Livingstone staff with many examples of how they are using SBs in their classrooms. (2nd year of the UDL project!).

Great video showing students working collaboratively at an astonishing number of SBs in the same room.
