Description: Using the new Smart Board software, called Smart Notebook, elementary teachers will learn how to manipulate all the wonderful Smart Board features and tools across their curriculum. Teachers will not only get the opportunity to learn how to use the software but also learn how to use the Smart Board itself. It is recommended that you bring any curriculum materials that you want to put on the Smart Board software, plus download the software for free at smarttech.com so that you can save anything that you work on. Also, if you would like to share any material please bring a flash drive for easy saving of lessons that your instructor or colleagues have created using the Smart Board.
Session 1: You will learn to become comfortable with all the basic functions that a smart board has to replace the old chalk board and white board. For instance, a shade to cover up material that you do not want to be seen, or the ability to take hand written material and turn it into typed out words. Plus many other fascinating, yet basic, features that the smart board software offers.
Session 2: On day two you will learn how to utilize all the wonderful manipulatives that the Smart Board software offers to utilize in a math lesson. These exciting hands on digital tools will keep your math students yearning to learn.
Session 3: Get ready to learn how to create a reading, writing, and language arts lesson where you don’t have to save all that chart paper from year to year. With creative paper backgrounds and videos the Smart Board software can motivate many students in ELA.
Session 4: On the last day you will learn how to
spice up your social studies and science curriculum by utilizing all the
fascinating pictures and manipulatives that the smart board software has to
offer. Plus, you will get the
opportunity to share with your colleagues some of the great lessons that you
have created.
