SMART Training Resources and Downloads:
SMART is really good about providing both document and video training on their site. You can view the training opportunities of the site by clicking here.
SMART also allows teachers to create their own interactive lessons. Here is a quick-guide PDF on how to create and save your own lessons for your SMART board.
Why reinvent the wheel? Here is a site that provides free interactive web sites for whiteboard lessons broken up by grade level and subject.
SMART directory of educator resources. Click on Online Classroom Resources where you can view by grade level. This is updated constantly!
- Notebook Software Lesson Activities include a collection of .xbk files which are the Power Point-type files you can save and edit as you teach. To download these, right click on them and select "Save Target As".
- SMART Ideas Software Activities is the collection of .ipr files that are best used with the large SMART Boards. These are interactive files and they can be saved and edited. Just select "download lesson" to save them. Your computer must have the IPR application installed for these to work and that is part of version 10.0 which is new as of summer 2008.
