Smart Board Resources

Integrating technology into your lesson plans is very important --- and it usually takes a lot of time that we teachers do not have.  I know that each of you are quite busy, so let me show you some great SMART BOARD lesson plans already created, as well as resources that will only enhance what you do in the classroom every day.

HOW TO FIND THIS ONLINE:  

1. Visit SMART TECHNOLOGIES:  www.smarttech.com 
2. At the bottom of the page, click "A great way to start the school year".  This will show you some resources already created by educators to help you begin your school year.

Here are a few resources to peruse that will help with Classroom Management:

• BACK TO SCHOOL KIT.  This is a packet of information specifically designed for certain grade levels.  It is full of activities to welcome your students, help them become comfortable, learn the classroom rules while helping the students get to know one another.  This lesson plan allows you to visually show answers to a group and have the students interact with SmartBoard technology.  This packet includes:  About Your Teacher, a Classroom Seating Chart you can manipulate, Group Activities such as Favorite Colors, How did you get to School, What Foods do you Like, Favorite Ice Cream, Classroom Rules, etc.  
• BACK TO SCHOOL KIT:  GRADES K-2
• BACK TO SCHOOL KIT:  GRADES 3-5

• DAILY PLANNER.  Teachers can display a daily agenda for their classroom.

• WEEKLY PLANNER.  Teachers can display a weekly agenda for their classroom.

• MONTHLY PLANNER.  This is a monthly activity planner that contains activities over a yearly calendar.  Each month features a different theme specific for that month.  

To access lesson plans that are already created, follow these steps:
