New Thinking from Class

Today, I learned how to callibrate the SmartBoard.  To do this you go to the Start Menu, to Smart Technologies, then Orient.  You then press the center of the target to callibrate.  During presentations, make sure to have a back-up plan in case something doesn't work.  Be sure to involve the class with interaction instead of just lecturing.  We need to include a wrap-up or conclusion.  Presentation should have three parts.  First tell us what you're going to tell us, then tell us, and finally tell us what you told us.  Make sure to speak-up, if you are the presenter or just contributing to the conversation.  At the beginning of presentation be sure to introduce yourself.  When you ask them to navigate to a website, be sure to walk around to check and make sure everyone is at the correct place.  Also walk around to check progress during discussion times.  Watch the uhms and likes when talking.  Be concise of time and ready to improvise if you need to. 

Google advanced will give you a better quality of search. With Google advanced you can find similar websites to a website that you have found helpful. 

Smart Technologies has a website called Smart Exchange, where they have SmartBoard lesson plans which are available to use.  On this website you are able to search for a lesson that meets the Education Standards for whatever state you are teaching in.
