Interactive Whiteboards

Submitted by Christine Southard (not verified) on October 7, 2007 - 11:17.

My co-teacher and I LOVE our SmartBoard! In our 5th grade inclusion class we use the board to differentiate instruction for all of our learners. We create interactive lessons for students using the Smartboard notebook tools. We also hyperlink pages to movies in BrainPop and United Streaming. Some of our favorite and most productive lessons involve playing games on various educational internet sites. Students love visiting sites such as mathplayground.com. Did you also know that you can upload the notebook files to your class website as pdfs? Another exciting function is the ability to record your actions on the SmartBoard and you can include voice-overs. We can upload these files to our website too. I think the possibilities are endless when it comes to utilizing interactive whiteboards. Teachers just need to recognize the potential and they can't be afraid to take their teaching to the next level.
