Smartboards/Whiteboards and Spelling City

by Kerry

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?

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
