Marjan has just obtained his first Smartboard and is learning how to make the most of it for classroom use. Let the author of The Busy Educator's Guide to the WWW share with you what he's learning about how to get started with the interactive whiteboard in his short, but full-of-info, article! Enjoy!
Watch for Glavac's next installment in the February issue of Teachers.Net Gazette!
I am wanting to write a grant for AirLiners to use with my Smartboard in my classroom but I really don't know a lot about them. Any information about how you use them in your classroom would be appreciated. Thank you
It will be for 45 minutes and a mix of K-8 teachers. I would like to do a brief this is what it can do and then do a big hands on time.
I have lots of ideas and many thigns I could show them but am also looking for suggestions. What would you want to know/see if you were participatign in this workshop?
did you look online? I've seen some "training" sorta notebook files before...

One of our first grade teachers has set up her entire morning routine on a smartboard lesson. She has some of the following pages ready so she can just click through them as need be.
Lunch count -- three columns with headings: Line A, Line B, Brought. She has the students names (movable) to one side. As the kids come in they are to pick up the pointer and move their names to the proper column.
Calendar/weather -- a calendar with movable number cards. The calendar student can move the correct number into its proper box, then move the proper weather symbol to be included in the box.
Number of days into the school year -- a hundred's chart where they are keeping track of what number day this is, then they practice counting the days.
Money page -- She can write a money amount at the top of a big piggy bank and students can drag coins in to show that amount.
There are several other pages she has included, but I don't recall of them.

I have been given money to purchase a smartboard, but must confess that I know very little about them and their benefits. Would anyone be willing to take the time to enlighten me to their qualities? Give suggestions as to what to buy? Useful websites? I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks!!

Does anyone use a Mac for their smartboard? I am trying to figure out how to show something on my smartboard and not have the same thing on my desktop...to slide the screen from my computer to the smartboard. I know that this is possible to do using a PC but no one seems to know how to do this on a MAC. Has anyone figured this out?
