Come learn how to use this new technology tool in your classroom.  The SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard that improves the way you teach, train and present. It combines the look and feel of a regular whiteboard with the power of a computer so you can save and print notes, collaborate on electronic documents, share information and run multimedia materials.  When combined with an LCD panel or projector, the SMART Board becomes a large, touch-sensitive screen. Discover how to develop lesson plans that make use of this fabulous tool and motivate students to learn.  This class is for beginners; no prior knowledge of SMART Boards required.

  Already have a SMART Board and consider yourself a user?  This class is for you!  Come learn the advanced features of the SMART Board and create lessons that you can use over and over.  Become adept at creating recordings of what you do on the SMART Board for playback and find out how to use the video player that comes with your SMART Board to annotate videos.  Learn how to attach audio files to objects on the SMART Board, how to save items that you use often to the My Content folder and share with others.  Find hundreds of lessons that have already been created for use on the SMART Board and create your own usable lesson, either from scratch or by tweaking a downloaded lesson.  In addition,  you will be introduced to Senteo, the SMART Board “clicker system” and the Airliner, a device that allows you to manipulate objects on the SMART Board from any location in the room.
