This entertaining blog post compares SMART's Notebook for the SMART Board to other similar products; It's funny. Also, this is a good blog for SMART Board users in general.

great fun for your SMART Board

I love this site because of how nicely it plays w/ our SMART Boards. It has become a great tool for initiating discussions in ELA classrooms. Simply hit the "Random" button and discuss the word w/ your class. You can of course use this as a vocabulary extension activity as well. I worked w/ one class using Visuwords where we tried to predict (as a class and in small groups . . . nice way to allow for differentiation) related nouns, verbs, etc. This activity created engaging classroom discussion!

In the schools where we have access to a SMART Board we use the pens to write our predictions, capture them to the Notebook and then discussed the discrepancies. Let me know how you use it in your classroom!

Too much fun . . . can't wait to see the full version!  A colleague in our office found this and it works beautifully w/ the SMART Board.
