SMARTBoards and the Gettysburg Address Notebook Resource

Yesterday I went off on a tangent - something that happens often - and I ended up developing a Notebook 10 Smartboard resource for the Gettysburg Address. 

You're welcome to download and use the application in your classroom or you can  share it with other teachers.

 Page 1 - Introduction about why Abraham Lincoln addressed the crowd at Gettysburg.

 Page 2 - Video that highlights the parts of the Gettysburg Address while it is being read.

 Page 3 - Text sorting activity. Students try to put the Gettysburg Address into the correct order.

 Page 4 - Audio sorting activity. Students listen to segments of the Address and then try to put the audio blocks into the correct order.

You can download the notebook file here.

SMARTBoards and Teacher-requested Notebook Applications

Since I'm not in the classroom anymore, I find that I miss creating lessons for the SMART Board that engage students and reinforce the information that the students are learning.

To keep my skills fine-tuned, I thought I would send out a Tweet (Twitter message) to my Smartboard followers to see if anyone needed a fun Notebook application for their classroom.

Here are the 1st three requests I received:

1. A lesson on American Folktales
2. A lesson on Vector Addition
3. A lesson on Andrew Jackson and the Spoils System

I have a couple other requests from some amazing teachers (Lori and Dana) that I'll definitely get to after these three.

I've completed the first request for a lesson on American Folktales. I focused on Johnny Appleseed. Here's a preview of the application:

The Notebook file is very large due to the embedded video and audio. However, you may download the file here.

If you like the file, I hope you'll consider taking a few training courses on Teacher Online Training to learn how to become an expert Notebook user. It's effective, affordable, and fun.
