A graphic organizer helps learners choose concepts and facts that fit the assigned topic. Students whose learning styles are more global and visual will also find these organizers helpful.

    This website will be a useful tool for teachers to use in learning how to work with a SMART board. The SMART board is a nice way to get the students involved in the lesson, thus it is going to be beneficial if the teacher knows how to use the device. Lastly, technology in the classroom is only growing and the smart board is one of the most commonly used devices in Elementary Schools, so this cheat sheet of how to use the board will be helpful.

    This site could be useful for teachers that are just learning how to use a SmartBoard to show its basic functions. It also could be a good resource for teachers who have used it before but need a reminder of a certain function.
