Electronic Whiteboards Chatboard

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!!

CTJS There's a good discussion on the Upper Elementary Board about how teachers use SMART Boards in their classrooms.

Smartboards/Whiteboards and Spelling City

by Kerry

Jan 30, 2009

I'm helping the Spelling City website create a page of educational activities relating to interactive whiteboards or smartboards. Does anyone have any feedback or creative ideas for how you have used Spelling City with these devices? I would also love to know if you have had any specific problems relating to Spelling City and whiteboard use. Thanks...See More

SueJ Bummer! That would have been an awesome lesson. Could you somehow download things to a computer so it wasn't coming in from The Unwashed Internet?

Lill THey can plan most of the games but the sound is just not there and they can not take the tests. Most work on the site at home for part of their spelling homework for the week. I have a tic- tac-toe board where they choose the things (spelling activities) that they want to do for homework. One of them is to go to spellingcity.com and play some of t...See More

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?

Teri Even with a PC, the only way to do this is to use the Smart Board's remote and "freeze" the frame. Then you can do what you want on your computer without changing what is on the Board. However, the Smart Board is NOT interactive when it is "frozen."

Typing accent marks

by JRod

Feb 9, 2009

I've had my SmartBoard for a few weeks now. I had training only two weeks ago so I am not familiar with all the things I can do yet. Tonight, I used some of the templates available and didn't know how to type in accent marks. How do I do this?

Thanks
