LizzieMae Last year my school purchased a mimio for each grade level and a subscription to StarrMatica for 3-6. I would highly recommend both.

The only difference we found was that SMART and Promethean had more content, but it was more quantity than qu...See More

Smartboard or Promethean for Kindergarten

by kteacher

Sep 17, 2008

I have a Numonics whiteboard that I have used in my K class for over 2 years. Our district is adding additional IWB technology. I have seen demonstrations of Promethean ActivPrimary and think it would be very appropriate in my kindergarten. I like the "chunky" tools for the young children to use. However, our tech coordinator wants to get all new S...See More

Online learing program

by Caitlin

Sep 26, 2008

I am doing research for an Online Degree program and I wanted to ask teachers who either had their masters, are considering getting their masters, or have been deterred from getting their masters because of the lack of institutions near them. If anyone wouldn't mind please post your thoughts on any of the following questions:

PW This site has templates (and samples) for 16 different games using PowerPoint. They would work well with an interactive white board.

Oct 8, 2008

Hi! Yesterday our technology coordinator updated my Smartboard version 9 to 10 to work with the Senteos. I looked on the Smarttech site for some type of guide to show me where things are and I can't find one. Can anyone help me? I go to a training in a few weeks and I did pick the 10 as one of my sessions, but it would be really nice to have someth...See More

gayle/3 I emailed them about the pen trailing me and they said it can't be removed! You do get used to it though. After you're done writing, put the pen in the tray and tap the board to make it go away. It was always blocking what we wrote when we finished.

Senteo Clickers with a Smartboard

by Tanya =^..^=

Oct 15, 2008

Hi,

I have borrowed a set of Senteo Clickers from our professional library to use with my Smartboard for a week. What are some ways that you have used them?

How do I create my own files to use with them?

Thanks!
