SMART Boards and the Amazing Magic 8 Ball

I would like to share with you an idea for how to use the technique for revealing correct answers that's found in the course Notebook Applications - The Magic Cat's Eye.

Using the exact same techniques used to build the Magic Cat's Eye, Valerie Byrnes thought it would be more fun to create a Magic 8 Ball that provided students with feedback on whether they are correct.

Here's a video that demonstrates how both the Magic Cat's Eye and the Magic 8 Ball will provide instantaneous feedback to students.

Here are some course testimonials for the course Notebook Applications - The Magic Cat's Eye:

Magic Cat's Eye is the coolest application I've seen and Jim makes it so easy to create yourself! I can't wait to WOW my students with it!
 ~Sue P.

What a treat! I love finding out about new techniques to include in my Notebook lessons that will WOW my students.
 ~Sherri F.

I'm still amazed every time I see the feedback magically appear in the Cat's Eyes. The step-by-step videos make it so easy. I already have ten ideas on how to use this! Thank you!
 ~James P.

This course was very beneficial. It shows you how to use the many features of the Smart board software. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to become better acquainted how to use the Smart board.
 ~Denise T.

This course gives explicit steps in creating an amazing activity that will definitely engage the students.
 ~Martha V.

Jim is a very patient teacher - and gives excellent individualized help if you don't understand something. [smile]
 ~Jeni F.

The course is self-paced and teachers can take as long as they want to complete the course requirements. The course is only available on Teacher Online Training...the most effective, affordable and fun way to receive Smart Notebook 10 professional development! Enroll Now!

SMART Boards and Free Images for Teachers

More and more great sites are popping up that allow teachers to search for and use quality images inside the classroom.

Using related images in Smart Notebook is a great way to engage students and provide a supporting visual aid to the subject matter.

Here are the sites I recommend for finding and downloading clip art, photographs, and drawings free of charge:

UVic's Language Teaching Clipart Library

edupics.com

Pics4Learning.com

 

EduPic Graphical Resource

 

MorgueFile

 

All of these sites should be placed on your district's website so teachers and students have access to free clip art, photographs, and drawings that can be used legally in an education environment!

SMARTBoards and TrainTracker

I wasn't going to mention the site TrainTracker until I saw how completely engaged my 3 year old son became when he started using it.

At first, he just started putting any type of track on the screen and he wasn't overly concerned about where it went. However, when the train didn't go too far, he quicky picked up some spacial relationship skills and soon had the train chugging along the screen. His joy was immeasurable when he clicked "PLAY" and saw the train moving and making noise on the track that he built.

I'm sure TrainTracker will be a big hit in the early primary grades and for older special needs children. It's also one of those great websites to bookmark at home and have your young children learn how to use a mouse while building their own little adventure world.

Teachers could also utilize this site as a fun "memory helper" by drawing out a train track layout on the Smart Board and then see how well the students can recreate the layout using TrainTracker.

If you come up with some other educational uses for this great website, please post your ideas in the comment section!

Thank you Redbridge_ICT for finding this great resource!

Here are some testimonials from the course Notebook Application - Turn on the Light

"I learn so much from Mr. Hollis' courses. The step-by-step instruction in small increments allows me to go back and forth from his instruction to my own notebook file so I don't get lost.  I heartily recommend this course."
  ~Mary S.

"Another fantastic course! It's great for most levels! Easy to follow instructions, go at your own pace in the comfort of your own home! What else could you ask for? I will definitely recommend this to my coworkers!"
~Nathalie R.

"Great lessons!  The step by step instructions are easy to follow. Thank you!"
  ~Sherri F.

"This course cost me time with my wife! Where did Saturday night go! I enjoyed this course thoroughly. While I knew many of the tasks you were explaining, the idea was great and I found myself listening to the audio rather than watching the video as I worked on my file. I am delighted with the finished product. Keep up the great work James."

SMARTBoards and Studying in a "Flash"

Here's a wonderful resource for your SMART Board called Flashcard DB. This site allows teachers to build a set of flash cards in a matter of a few minutes or use one of the thousands pre-made flashcards. I actually created an account (optional if you want to build your own set of flashcards) and built my first set of literary review flashcards in under five minutes.

Once you've chosen the flashcard set you wish to use, you can go through the flashcards in review mode or study mode. If you go through in study mode, you're given a cool feedback page showing how many questions you answered correctly.

The flashcards work great on a SMART Board and provide teachers with another powerful new tool for the classroom. I should also mention that FlashcardDB allows you to print your flashcards and even formats the print page to make it very easy to cut the cards into even pieces.

A great way to start building a flashcard library is to have your students create their own set of flashcards. This would be such a great homework assignment and students are a lot more engaged in the learning process when they take a more active role in it. Once the students create a set of flashcards, you can export and import their work into your account in a few easy steps or just bookmark the links to their set of flashcards. Flashcard DB really makes exporting and importing the flashcard data easy!

Once again, don't forget to share this resource with the other teachers in your school. It's a winner!

Another big thanks to Mr. Byrne over at Free Technology for Teachers for sharing this wonderful resource with his readers!

SMART Boards and an Amazing ESL Website

Sometimes I get frustrated when I find great websites for the SMART Board but they're blanketed in advertisements. To me it's very sad when people develop wonderful learning activities to share but feel it's okay to place huge advertisements on the same page that children will be using.

One solution is to find websites developed by educators who simply want to help students learn as opposed to making $50 a month through annoying product placement.

This morning I found a great website called Lauri's ESL Website developed by an educator with 35 years experience teaching ESL. Here name is Lauri Fried-Lee from the City College of San Francisco. Her website contains a wealth of ESL resources and most all of them work great on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. I was especially impressed with the Listening Activities section of her website.

Pictured below are screenshots of two separate listening activities. In the first one, students click to hear a short conversation and then they answer a few questions about what they just heard. The second activity has students listen to a sentence and then place the correct picture in the box corresponding the word they hear in the sentence.

Lauri has many, many more activities similar to these that work great on the SMART Board and are very easy to use.

Thank you Lauri for creating such an outstanding "free" resource for ESL teachers and students! Your hard work is appreciated! If you like Lauri's website, why not send her a thank you email to let her know!

SMART Boards and Interactive Science and Engineering for Kids

Engineering Interact is a fantastic resource created by the University of Cambridge Department of Engineering.

 

Here's the description from their website:

Engineering Interact is a new and exciting free educational resource for primary school children aged 9 to 11. The resource provides fully interactive, engaging game environments and high-quality learning material tailored to the National Curriculum. Information about real world applications and cutting edge research motivates children and introduces them to the exciting subject of engineering.

The site contains interactive learning activities covering: light, sound, forces and motion, earth and beyond, and electricity.

Each area is broken down into multiple modules and each module contains an interactive learning activity, an interactive review activity, and a slide-show containing information about how the science is applied in the real world.

Teachers should check out the Teacher Information page that will help them utilize the resources more effectively.

This is one of those sites that really makes learning and teaching science a lot more fun and exciting, especially if you have an SMART Board in your classroom. Pass the word!

SMART Boards and Fun "Bitesize" Activities from the BBC

I've mentioned the Bitesize activities from the BBC before but wanted to focus specifically on the KS1 (Key Stage 1) activities for children aged 5 to 7.

The KS1 Bitesize area contains both Math and Literacy interactive activities. The Math section contains 12 different activities and the Literacy section has nine. Each activity has three levels of difficulty: Medium, Hard, and Really Hard.

The graphics and audio on these activities are very professional and all the activities were developed with interactive whiteboards in mind so they all work great with the SMART Board. Student feedback is also very stimulating. After students touch on an answer, the activity responds with some fun animation and let's them know if they are correct. In the Kung-Fu Sentences activity (picture below), the character does a spinning Kung-Fu move after students select an answer. If the student is correct, the Kung-Fu Master flips the correct answer into place with his stick. It's pretty cool! 

 
The great thing about these activities is that they can be viewed full-screen to help make the activities more engaging. In addition, each activity has a corresponding worksheet. 

Teachers can also access KS2 and KS3 activities from the site. 

Please share this wonderful resource with the other teachers in your school. You'll soon be the "go to" person for finding great resources for your SMART Board!

SMARTBoards and Literactive - Teaching Children to Read

I normally do not recommend websites where users have to register to access the content since this is often against a school's UAP. However, the website Literactive offers so many outstanding interactive resources for the SMART Board that it's hard not to give this website a huge "shout out."

Literactive has hundreds a quality interactive activities to help children learn to read. The activities are extremely engaging and the graphic and sound quality are top notch! The site includes guided reading activities, interactive poetry, and interactive traditional tales. The site also has an ESL section that's simply outstanding.

Registration for this site took only a few seconds and my login information was sent to me immediately. The site claims that you are allowed to download the flash activities to your computer. However, the activities are configured to run from their site and downloading the activities is not a straight-forward process.

Please share this resource with your primary grade teachers. It's simply an amazing resource of free activities that work great on your SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Note: I noticed the Level 7 activities are not active. All other activities seem to work okay.

SMART Boards and a Simple Number Line Tool

Sometimes the tools that are the most simple to use are also the most powerful. Case in point, the Decimal Number Lines Tool over at Maths Online is an extremely effective learning tool to use that is also very simple in design and function. It's a perfect companion for the SMART Board.

The Decimal Number Line tool allows teachers to display and interact with a number line. The number line can be moved around and zoomed bigger or smaller. Teachers can decide on which units are displayed and also whether unit marks are displayed. What's really cool is that teachers and students can move an arrow back and forth above the number and when they're ready, they can touch above the arrow to reveal the arrow's location on the number line. The number can be turned off and on just by touching above the arrow. 

As a Math teacher, I can think of some great ways to use this with the SMART Board. If you have a good idea, please share it in the comment section.

Since I'm discussing number lines, I should also mention the fun number lines in the eManipulatives section at Houghton Mifflin. They really are a lot of fun for practicing skip counting. They have a very simple skip counting number line for K-2 and they have a slightly more advanced number line for Grades 3 - 6 that has a few more options for the teacher.

Please remember to share these resources with the other teachers in your school!

SMART Boards and Eyeballing Game

I'm hooked! The Eyeballing Game is such a fun way to learn and interact with geometric theorems and shapes that students will be clamoring to get to the SMART Board to try to create a perfect parallelogram!

The application is so simple to use and it works great on a SMART Board. To use the game, students try to complete a task by touching and dragging a small blue box and placing it in the position that best answers the question. In the picture above, I attempted to bisect an angle by eyeballing where the blue line should be. After I moved the line where I thought it should go, I was given feedback on my accuracy. In this example, my guess was 14.3 units away from the actual bisector line.

The game rotates through the seven tasks three times and then provides you with an overall average of your accuracy along with where you rank with the last 10,000 people who have played the game.

I can think of some great ways to use this in the classroom. For example, create three teams of seven and then have the teams rotate through the seven tasks where one player on the team does one task. You can then have an extra task of having the teams calculate their team average. Soon, your students will be using terms like "convergence" and "bisect" in their everyday language!

SMART Boards and the Media - Another Great Article

I'm starting to see a barrage of media articles about schools using SMART Boards in the classroom. It's no surprise that they all seem to mention how much more engaged the students become when teachers use the SMART Board effectively.

Here's a really outstanding article in the Daily Herald-Tribune in Grande Prairie, Alberta that seems to capture the essence of how a SMART Board has the potential to transform a classroom.

Why not print out a few copies and slip them under your Principal's door. You never know what will happen!

It's extremely important to remember that for a SMART Board to be effective in the classroom, it takes dedicated teachers willing to make a difference. However, one of the great things about having a SMART Board in your classroom, is that it can be as much fun for the teacher as it is for the student!

SMART Boards and a Fun Technique for Revealing Information

Want to learn a fun and exciting technique for expanding text and revealing hidden information?

I've just developed a short-course for Notebook 10 that walks you step-by-step through the process of creating an application that will magically reveal The Student of the Day.

Oh, by the way, this course is free!

It's just my way of saying "thank you" to everyone for visiting my blog, Teachers Love SMART Boards, and my Notebook 10 training site, Teacher Online Training.

Teachers can use this simple but powerful technique on their SMART Board in a myriad of ways to dramatically reveal any information to the students.

While this technique is easy to learn, there is a secret to making the words magically expand right in front of your eyes. This technique is sure to "WOW" even the most experienced Notebook user.

(Note: This technique is very different from the technique described in the course Notebook Application - The Magic Cat's Eye. The technique in The Magic Cat's Eye is much more powerful and versatile).

This course contains nine short video tutorials that guide participants in creating their hands-on assignment. Participants who successfully meet the course objectives receive a Certificate of Completion for 45 Professional Development minutes. One of the great thing about the courses is the Forum area where teachers share their ideas for how to use what they learned during the course. For example, this technique could also be used as a fun way to introduce The Word of the Day.

To enroll in this course, just click on the course Notebook Technique - Student of the Day over at Teacher Online Training (the course is listed toward the bottom of the page). After you log in, you will be asked if you want to enroll in the course and then you will be taken directly to the course. If you do not already have an account on Teacher Online Training, you can create a free account in a few easy steps.

Watch the introductory video for Notebook Technique - Student of the Day

Notebook Application: The Magic Cat's Eye

I get really excited when I create a new course over at Teacher Online Training. My latest Notebook 10 course offering guides participants through the creation of an application for the SMART Board called The Magic Cat's Eye.

This application will amaze even the most experienced Notebook user. The course is self-paced and teachers do not need any prior experience in using Notebook 10. Teachers simply watch a series of short video tutorials and then apply what they learn to their own Notebook file. Before they know it, they've created an fun and exciting application that can be used immediately inside the classroom!

Course Description:

This course will guide participants through the process of creating an authentic multi-page interactive application in Smart Notebook 10.

Users will build a fun review game called The Magic Cat's Eye that will magically reveal to the student whether or not their answer to a question is correct. This course uses an innovative technique that will amaze and bewilder even the most advanced Smart Notebook user. Best of all, the technique is very easy to apply and participants use only the tools found in the standard Notebook 10 toolbar.

This course contains 24 short video tutorials and is divided into five sections that will guide the user through the entire process of building the multi-page interactive application.

In addition to learning how to incorporate the Magic Cat's Eye technique, participants will learn how to create and apply a custom Theme; create custom backgrounds, use the Screen Capture tool; apply advanced locking techniques; save pages to the Gallery; customize the Notebook Toolbar, create custom buttons, and apply links to and from each page.

This course will also reinforce grouping objects, naming pages, setting default fonts, and editing objects.

Why spend hundreds of dollars on ineffective Professional Development when you can spend a fraction of that over at Teacher Online Training.

For a limited time, the Magic Cat's Eye course is available for only $6.95. I also offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied with the course!

Here's an introduction video for the Magic Cat's Eye course:

No other Professional Development system comes close to providing teachers with the training they need to effectively use Smart Notebook 10.

As learners, we learn best by doing and that's exactly what Teacher Online Training does. It provides a proven method of learning how to use Smart Notebook 10 that's fun, effective, and best of all, extremely affordable.

Teacher Online Training was development specifically to accommodate the busy teacher.

Teachers are provided with support and feedback on all their activities and each course contains a community forum where teachers can share ideas and reflect about how to use the applications inside the classroom. When teachers complete a course, they receive a Certificate of Completion for each course that can be used for Professional Development credit.

SMART Boards and PEEP and the Big Wide World

Do I have a new favorite website? I think that maybe I do!

The website is called PEEP and the Big Wide World and it contains an amazing collection of educational games for the Primary grades.

The graphics, audio, and characters are spectacular and all the games I've played with work great on a Smart Board Interactive Whiteboard. The website is a extension of the TV show that is narrated by one of my favorite people, Joan Cusack.

Here's a brief description of the show:

The animated series PEEP and the Big Wide World gives wings to the innovative idea of teaching science to preschoolers. Wry and distinctive visual humor, charming plotlines, and lovable characters combine with a comprehensive science program to attract and engage kids three to five years old. 

This site is a good example of how interactive educational material should be exposed to students. The site does not contain any advertising and the interactive games can be zoomed to fill the screen. This is extremely important when using a SMART Board with your younger students.

I like using the sitemap for PEEP and the Big Wide World since it organizes all the resources on one page.

I won't spend time any more time telling you about the site since that would take time away from you playing around with the games. If you have some time, why not send a comment and let everyone know what your favorite game is and why. I'll send in my comment after I finish playing around with all the games!

Have fun and get ready to smile! 

Thank you Paul Hamilton for recommending this site on your Free Resources on the Net for (Special) Education blog. Paul's description of the site is much better than mine so if you want some more information, why not check out Paul's blog post about PEEP!

impressive and very helpful...thank you
   
It is a great and very exciting course to learn new ideas and new features of notebook 10. After taking this course so many ideas came to my mind to use in my ESL class. If you have not signed up for this course, please do so as it will help you in creating exciting lessons for your students. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.

Another fantastic course! It's great for most levels! Easy to follow instructions, go at your own pace in the comfort of your own home! What else could you ask for? I will definitely recommend this to my coworkers!

Excellent techniques, folks! Well worth the time to learn it. Very impressive.

Great lessons!  The step by step instructions are easy to follow.  Thank you!

I always learn a new skill through your courses. As in the past your directions were easy to follow and application to a new Notebook lesson will go smoothly. I really appreciated learning to add pages and objects into the Gallery into My Content. I had tried this before but always seems to do it the hard way. Also learning the skill of linking pages within the application will be very useful for other applications. I have recommend your courses to several teachers in my elementary building and they have been very happy with the ease of completion, no matter their Notebook 10 skill level.

I learn so much from Mr. Hollis' courses.  The step-by-step instruction in small increments allows me to go back and forth from his instruction to my own notebook file so I don't get lost.  I heartily recommend this course.

This course cost me time with my wife! Where did Saturday night go! I enjoyed this course thoroughly. While I knew many of the tasks you were explaining, the idea was great and I found myself listening to the audio rather than watching the video as I worked on my file. I am delighted with the finished product. Keep up the great work James.

This course is awesome--a definite A+.  Not only do you learn to create an exciting activity for your classroom but you also learn time-saving steps such as saving pictures and templates to your gallery. What else can I say but AMAZING!  Thanks for offering such outstanding courses and presenting them in such a way that anyone can understand.

This is a great activity.  I am very excited to try it out on my class.  It can be adapted to all subject areas and will make a great review tool!

This is going to be such a fun technique to use in the classroom. I can think of so many different ways to use Turn on the Light with word attach, reading strategies and vocabulary. The students will love using the flashlight.

When I watched the lessons and just took notes, I thought "Oh, man, I will NEVER be able to do that!!  But if you just watch each segment and follow directions it really is de LIGHT ful!!  I would recommend this to everyone.  My principal and assistant principal are anxious for me to show the other teachers!  So am I!!   Smartboards are made for more than pre-planned games!!  I plan to use Shine the Light to practice for "The Big Test"!  Thanks so much!!!

Here's a Sneak Peak at my latest course scheduled to be released this week. Anyone who enrolls in the Turn On The Light course before March 7, 2009 will be automatically enrolled in the Magic Cat's Eye course free of charge (does not include people who received free enrollments):

I left my role as a technology integration specialist, teacher, and technology coordinator to develop this new system so teachers could get the professional development they need without all the hassles. I have a degree in Computer Science, a minor in Mathematics, and a Masters in Education specializing in Technology & Curriculum. It was time I put my experience and education to good use!
