Taking it to the next level - create your own SMART Board lesson

Now that the teachers are getting comfortable using the SMART Board, I devised a plan to take it to the next level.  Since the time when we first got the SMART Boards, the teachers have used the SMART Board by downloading pre-made lessons created using Notebook software.  In addition, the teachers have also used the SMART Board to show interactive activities and games in the classrooms.

My follow-up plan is to introduce them to using SMART Notebook to create their OWN lessons.  I've shown them some of these video on YouTube and then one-by-one, I re-created the steps involved.  I have also outlined the steps on a slideshow so that the teachers could use that as well as a reference guide when they want to review the skills just learned at the workshop.
