Grants for a SmartBoard?

by teach4

Aug 28, 2009

Another post on this board got me thinking. I have absolutely no experience with grants, do you have a suggestion where I might find grants that I could try for?

Daniel Hanson I'm in the same boat. I searched the chatboard for other posts and didn't really find any information. My school district has had severe financial problems this last year or so and we just had more cuts (and might have more in January). So, I don't know how I would even find the money to get a LCD projector or a SmartBoard for my classroom.

? Not sure if you are asking about the software, or just creating a lesson. Software wise you have to have SMART Notebook software. Version 10 is the latest.

As to creating a lesson, I agree with the other poster. It is similar to Power Point. However, since you have increased capability with the touch screen, you can use the lesson activity...See More

interactive whiteboard

by Renee

Sep 2, 2009

Does anyone have a polyvision whiteboard - TS model. There is one in my new classroom, but no one knows how to use it. I have been projecting power point prsentations on it, but would like to use the touch screen to mark the power point slides. I can't get it to work. Does anyone know how to do this?

Kerrie We have a Polyvision board. Sounds like it is not connected to your computer properly. The projector itself will not activate the board.

Kara When you are in your notebook 10 you should see a picture frame somewhere on your toolbar. Click on that (It's your "gallery") once in that you should have a search box. Click on it and type whatever it is you want...money, coins, clocks, spinners...

If you don't find what you want there you can google your terms with "SMARTboards" in your...See More

Smartboard

Should you leave the board on or turn it off when you leave the room?

Miss M Since the board (at least mine) is only on when my computer and LCD projector is on (which it is connected to), I guess you're really asking if you should turn off your projector?

Since projector lights are expensive to replace (and why just waste energy by letting it run), I do turn off my projector when I leave the room or am done with i...See More

Does anyone have the Smart wireless slate/mouse?

by We're having some difficulty with ours.

Sep 9, 2009

We have several of these in our school. All of them work fine except one.

We just set the sixth grade teacher up with the wireless slate and mouse. The slate and mouse are both connected via the bluetooth, as instructed.

The problem is, the response of the mouse and the slate pen are very sluggish/slow.

Has this happened ...See More

Elizabeth Chapin-Pinotti Hi, I demonstrated our district and site websites and how they could be used as resources. I displayed my rules and then I had students do a powerpoint on how parents could help their students with homework etc. throughout the year.

kindergarten touch to screen

by pfp

Sep 25, 2009

Hi - can anyone help me with how to teach five year olds how to touch the board and move things? They are digging their nails in, pushing so hard it squeaks, and in general just not getting it. I have tried the terms "gentle," "softly," "quickly" and we practice on our own hands, my hands, and the board and still nothing moves. Thanks Patty

CTJS I use the Hand Pointers that are sold by Scholastic. It also extends the reach of Kindergartners so they can click on higher things.
