In this episode we cover many of the random generators in Smartboard.  They are flashed based and easy to edit.  Some of them on this weeks episode include:  Random name chooser, Random group maker, and a random number generator. We show how to find them, and also store them in the gallery.  We also discuss a great site at www.pbs.org.

To get a bunch of resources go to http://teachingwithsmartboard.com

In this Podcast we discuss a memorization technique that is interactive and fun.  They are a way to have the students work through a vocabulary and definition or simply just a spelling word.  We also talk about some user tips for beginners.  Things like using the page sorter and the select button.  Hope you can join us.  Remember that resources and downloads are at http://teachingwithsmartboard.com

Today’s Podcast is using Three Column Sorting to help teach your material.  This is template “O” from the teaching templates from the gallery.  (go to teachingwithsmartboard.com to get the gallery collection file “Teaching Templates” and it will automatically load into your “my content” gallery.   

Using three column sorting you can define the categories and then make your items that go into the categories.  This podcast explains how to get the template from the website teachingwithsmartboard.com.  We also discuss a lesson from Steve Batts on Geometry involving parallel lines and a transversal.  Of course, we have a few jokes included for you.

In episode 61 we cover a teaching template called category sorting with named categories. This is a great template for higher order thinking.  The students may or may not be able to quickly idenify the categories that are within all of the items on a slide.  This template is available from our website at http://teachingwithsmartboard.com.  Go to the resources tab and then find the lesson templates.

We also cover a Jeopardy template in smartboard that was given to us by a listener.  It is very easy to edit and is a great review for your classes. Enjoy.

Lastly, we made a igoogle button on our website so that you can add our blog to your igoogle homepage and know whenever we upload a new podcast. 

Oh yeah, don't forget the new jokes that we have this week.  We have a site for you to go to to check out a bunch of new clean fun 4th grade humor jokes. 

Dave

This is our first podcast since we started school.  We cover a lesson structure called Category Sorting.  This sturcture you do not name the categories.  Students will work together to formulate categories and also sort the items into the categories.  We also cover our new website teachingwithsmartboard.com.  We share a great flash stoplight timer from Teq Smart.  Welcome back and we hope you enjoy the informational podcast about Smartboards.

This is part 1 of using the Gallery in Smartboard.  We cover things like making a folder in My Content and Searching the Gallery.  We also show you how to download a pre-made gallery that we have made.  This is located on our website at http://www.ncusd203.org/central/html/what/math/smartboard/

This week’s focus is on Art and some excellent sites for the Smartboard.  The primary site is at http://www.art.com.  It works wonderfully with the Smartboard and is worth your checking out. We hope you can join us.  Many resources are available to you including today’s notebook lesson at http://www.ncusd203.org/central/html/what/math/smartboard/

Happy Smartboarding,

We are exploring a few interactive pre-made Smartboard lessons from the gallery today.  This includes a lesson on dissecting a frog.  This is fun.  You might want to teach science after seeing some of these interactive lessons.  One of our listeners, Shelly Moses, sent these in to us.  We also talk about a website called Classroom 2.0  http://www.classroom20.com/   Hope you can join us.  Many resources are available to you including today’s notebook lesson at http://www.ncusd203.org/central/html/what/math/smartboard/

In this podcast we try to give a little structure to our lessons with something called, “Fill in the missing pieces”.  By giving the framework for the students they catch a pattern quickly.  Our examples are all mathematics related; however, this can be transformed to any subject very easily.  Students are asked to solve problems out of the normal sequence including backwards.  We also talk about how to save a page to the gallery.  As always, we have a couple of jokes for you.  Hope you can join us.  Many resources are available to you including today’s notebook lesson at http://www.ncusd203.org/central/html/what/math/smartboard/

Why should you choose SMARTboard (or any IWB)?  We cover a variety of reasons why this might be a good idea. We also review the classic lesson structure called Characteristic Sorting with many examples.  We hope you can join us this week and every week at iTunes or teacher tube.  You can also download some resources including today’s notebook document at our website:

In the first part of this screencast we cover the Smartboard Revolution Site.  It is an excellent resource for smartboard users.  Secondly, we are asking for your input at the site voicethread.com in helping us design the ultimate high school classroom design.  We have our layout for what we think would work; however, we would like you to comment on what you think would be the best ideas for the DREAM CLASSROOM.  Lastly a listener Sue McKay gave us a listener called connect 4.   We hope you can join us this week and every week at iTunes or teacher tube.  You can also download some resources including today’s notebook document at our website:

This is our last of 3 weeks covering English Lessons.  Today we talk about a auditory lesson involving sentence sorting.  Students are given a few shapes which when clicked give a sentence from a paragraph.  Then the student has to put that shape into the order that they think best.  Eventually the order of the paragraph will shake out.  We cover how to make this lesson using Audacity.  This lesson idea transfers to other subjects..  We hope you can join us this week and every week at iTunes or teacher tube.  You can also download some resources including today’s notebook document at our website:
