Integrating MS-Office Applications,
Classroom Lessons and Templates,
DESIGN Your Own Lesson
Engaging students in the
learning process while using interactive white-board will
increase student participation, understanding. Using
interactive
hands-on, minds-on technology tools to support students
as they demonstrate what they know in multiple ways will maximize
the potential of this tool.
Many resources are
available to help develop the skill of using SmartBoard technology
in the classroom. You will find short How-To Guides that will
explain different features of using the SmartBoard. Using
SmartBoard tools with MS-Word, Excel and PowerPoint makes this
integration very easy. Classroom resources which include links to
established lessons and to template files you can download and use
right in your Smart Notebook software. You will be able to view
all of them before you download.
While the content
of the lessons you see will be directly correlated to our Core
Content of Assessment and Program of Studies, it is the concept
of how the lesson is developed and structured to capitalize on the
interactivity of the tool that we will emphasize. Any of these
concepts can be and should be modified to meet the different
curricular requirements of your content and/or grade level. The
pre-constructed templates are to be used as a starting or jumping
off point for you to generate your own unique and distinctly
well-suited curricular activities that will create interest and
ask your students to use the concepts and the skills you are
teaching. |
