Here is where you can post links to online lessons and other SMART resources.

SMART Exchange - Find Lesson Plans for Your SMART Board and Connect with Teachers. **You can search for lessons by the IL state standards!**

SMART Learning Space - Participate in self-paced training sessions

[|SMART Board Revolution] This is a "ning," which is a social network for SMART users. You can join or read information from other people. IT isn't great for sharing lessons, but on the left side, there is a SMART search engine, which is supposed to search numerous SMART websites.

[|Teachers Love SMARTboards] This website has a blog, resources, and more elaborate notebook files. If I remember right, the person who runs this site posts a new file every day, and there are files themed to the season, holiday, etc. There are also video trainings.

[|Teaching with SMARTboard] This site was created by a math teacher from Naperville Central High School. There are video podcasts explaining how he created lessons. Although his lessons are for high school math students, you could use his podcasts to learn how he created his files and then make something similar for your students.

[|Get Smart with SMARTboards] This site has podcasts. Most are geared toward elementary math, but they teach you how to create different things (like a spinner), that you could then utilize in other lessons.

[|Teq Smart] This website has some free lessons to download, but it also has files for sale.

Here are my notes that I've taken throughout the year from in services and meetings. They include the Cheats that I started earlier. They aren't the most clear and still have some holes/gaps, but I wanted everyone to have the DRAFT. Sure hope they help someoneHave a great summer! Stephanie

[|Graphics Plus] This site has excellent holiday clip art and animated graphics and appears to be very safe. Warning - follow links to other sites at your own risk!
