Tool: SmartBoard

Another great tool that some classrooms are blessed with is the SmartBoard. I use this tool every day in my classroom in second grade. We use it to show videos, play academic games, as a normal whiteboard, for interactive activities in Math and Religion, and so much more. If you have a SmartBoard I would highly recommend Googling Smart Exchange online. It is a mass sharing site for SmartBoard presentations that teachers have created. You can search by grade, subject, or a specific topic. You can preview, download, and then edit the presentation to make it your own. Why re-invent the wheel right? Below is a picture taken during our butterfly unit of a station where studnets went through a SmartBoard flipchart on their own and write down facts they learn.
