A little of this, a little of that

This week I wanted to do a little something for the elementary folks and a little something for the middle/high folks. 

Starting with the primary grades, I have to think Gena for refreshing my memory about this website – abcya! is where education and technology meet.  There are a ton of cool educational games for K-5 students.  There are some ads that scroll along the side of the page; so if you use this website on your SMARTBoard you may want to use the spotlight feature to hide the ads.  I definitely think this is ‘must add’ to your teacher website!

Middle and High School folks – don’t think I forgot about you. I added a new page just for you (ok, and everyone else) on my blog. There is now a link called, “Quick Reads for Busy Teachers” here I have started to add some great quick reads about incorporating technology into your classroom.  If you haven’t checked out the article called, “A New Way to Lecture” you definitely should.

SMARTBoard Morning Meetings and Lessons

9/7/2010 –

Now that SMARTBoard excitement is in full effect I wanted to share with you a site for some great pre-made lessons that you can download and tweak for your classroom.  The SMART Exchange from SMART has tons of great resources for your classroom.  Check out the site at:  http://exchange.smarttech.com/#tab=0

I’ve also been excited seeing many of you using your SMARTBoard for your morning meetings – check out some other morning meeting files.  http://exchange.smarttech.com/search.html?q=morning+meeting&p=1
