Description: Using the new SMART Board software, called SMART Notebook 10.0, mathematics teachers will learn how to manipulate all the wonderful SMART Board features and tools across their curriculum. Teachers will not only get the opportunity to learn how to use the software but also learn how to use the SMART Board itself. It is recommended that you bring any curriculum materials that you want to put on the SMART Board software, plus download the software for free at www.smarttech.com so that you can save anything that you work on. Also, if you would like to share any material please bring a flash drive for easy saving of lessons that your instructor or colleagues have created using the SMART Board.

Session 1: Basic Use of SMART Boards and SMART Notebook

This session will give the participant a general overview of how SMART Boards can be used in everyday lesson plans. It will include an overview of how all the components work together, and the development of lessons using SMART Notebook Software.

Session 2: Using SMART Notebook 10.0 to its full potential

This session will focus on using the gallery and features of SMART Notebook 10.0. Participants will learn how to enhance lessons and presentations in Algebra and Geometry.

Session 3: Other Programs with the SMART Board and SMART Notebook

This session will show how to integrate Word and other software (TI-SmartView, Autograph and Sketchpad) into your presentations. Participants will also learn how to create interactive classroom activities.

Session 4: Senteo and Final Product

This session participants will create and share their own presentations. Bring a flash drive to collect and share files with others. Participants will also get a preview of Senteo, SMART’s interactive response system. This versatile teaching tool gives you insight into how well students understand your lessons. Students use remotes (clickers) to provide instant responses to questions and quizzes, and the software automatically tallies, summarizes and files the results.
