Hello Everyone. 

Happy Holidays.  We have put together a podcast about named and unnamed category sorting.  We have a template for you and we have some examples that show you how to use the template.  Templates are great to use because they can be modified with the varied content you have.

We also cover a couple of new jokes for you.
Enjoy,
Dave and Scott

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the new school year.  We have been off for a while.  Some might say that we have always been "off".  We have just completed our first podcast this school year and it has to do with NOTEBOOK EXPRESS.  This is a FREE program that can run Notebook documents though a website.  It is really cool.  It is great for your students to be able to work with any Notebook document that you put out there.  Also, we talk about one of the flash templates that Smartboard puts out called ANAGRAMS.  It is where you can put in a list of vocabulary words and then the students will have to unscramble them.  It works great and is very easy to use.  Check out our podcast.
Go to www.teachingwithsmartboard.com for more information and more resources.


All the best,

Dave and Scott

In this episode we cover the 800 Series SMARTBoard as well as some teaching ideas that incorporate the dual touch. One idea like having one person an eraser and one person a writer. Another idea is having a student on the left side of an equation and one person on the right side. Then they have to work the problem together. We also took the idea from the game Minute to Win it on TV and use the game BREAKFAST SCRAMBLER to scramble pictures. It has been a really fun activity. We are still searching for ways to incorporate it into curricular material.
