Language Arts Activities | Interactive Whiteboard Resources | Scholastic.com - 1 views

  •  
    This website is a great resource for whiteboard activities for Language Arts. I would use this in my classroom if I had a Promethean board or any other type of interactive whiteboard in order to engage my students in a new way.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing this resource. I am getting a Mimio in our classroom next month and this will really help me find some things that could work for us. Great find! Thanks.

    Fun Brain is a website that I have seen used within my level 1 course work. It is targeted at lower level education classes. It is a great interactive learning website.

E.gg Timer - simple online countdown timer - 0 views

  •  
    Teachers need structure, kids need structure, everyone needs a virtual egg timer!  This is a simple timer that works great with an interactive white board.  Type in any amount of time in the box and click 'start.'  Kids can easily look up and see how much time they have left and/or wait for the buzzer.  Works great for playing games like charades, etc.  Also worked well with high school students and timing speeches.

New Ipad App for Classroom Collaboration - 4 views

  •  
    This is an article discussing a new Ipad App called "Spin" which allows students to hold a online, collaborative discussion while viewing multiple videos at once. This is said to be the new "Skype" allowing communication and interactive discussion to occur throughout the world with one application. Something for teachers to look into for their own classrooms one day! This application seems like it might have a future in our schools.

    Wow, what a great collaborative app! In addition to implementing in the classroom, this appears to also have great potential for facilitating distance education. I wonder what the network bandwidth requirements are and how many simultaneous video streams can be supported?
  •  
    This looks like it could be the future of distance education. A great tool that could be incorporated into a class like our online Ed Tech classes at UNI. I am not sure if I would use this in a regular classroom, it would depend on the lesson, but this appears to be the new and best option for online video discussions.
  •  
    This looks like it has some great potential. I am going to have to check it out further.
  •  
    This is a really cool App that will be very useful in Problem Based Learning environments because it is a great collaborative tool. Great Post Hannah!

    Thanks for sharing this site, Haley! I love the free "student interactives" given under the resources tab; I just had a lot of fun exploring some of those -- especially the "printing press" which I am actually adding to my own bookmarks....it looks like a cool way to get students interested in writing, and incorporating an "app" to make their publications look more professional. Definitely something I'd like to use in my upcoming student teaching, or my own classroom! :)

    Free, quick, simple video conferencing.

    I think this resource could definitely be used efficiently in my own future classroom because it is a way for my students to keep in touch with those from other school all around the world. I believe the resource is for both students and teacher use, because the teachers need to be able to get on it to make sure it is safe for the students, and the students can get on to interact with other students from other classrooms all around the world. This is almost like Skype! I really liked this resource.

Teachers Love SMART Boards - Resources for the SMART Board classroom - 2 views

  •  
    A great resource for educators who use SMART Boards.  The articles on here are written by teachers and for teachers that use these boards.  Lots of good articles and constantly updated as well.

    SMART Boards can be great if used properly with some awesome ideas...or they can be a huge waste of money. This group of educators has done an awesome job really laying out some new ideas and different templates to use with SMART Boards. Check them out!
  •  
    This looks like a very useful resource relating to SMART Boards. I know that I have really neglected digging into all of the resources out there for my SMART Board, so I think if I set a goal to explore sites like this on a regular basis, it'll give me good ideas for how I could be using my board for more than just a glorified YouTube player. The reviewers of the various templates and activities do a good job discussing what does/does not work or why they liked them. I have not researched many SMART Board sites, but look forward to finding more.
  •  
    This is very good tool to use with SMART Boards, this will be beneficial for teachers to use in classrooms. It will make it easy and fun for students to follow their teacher.
  •  
    Thank you for sharing this with us. We are are relatively new to SMART Boards and this seems to be a good one for teachers to be able go out and find material that they may use in the classroom. There always seem to be more material for K-8 than for 9-12 areas. Great sources for teachers to find tips also
  •  
    This is a great resource! I really like the section that has SMART Board training on it. A lot of teachers in the classroom don't really know how to use these resources to their fullest extent and by having it so they can teach themselves online is great. I would use it if I had a SMART Board in my classroom.
