Smartboard Video Resources
It’s time to start up the presses again here at Teachers Love SMART Boards. I hope everyone had a great holiday!
The wonderful people from Smart Technologies have started building a video library on YouTube. It is a great idea and I’m sure this will become a great resource. In addition to their videos, you can also find various training videos on my YouTube site. If you’re looking for a quick video demonstration on how to use your SMART Board, let me know; I can usually put something together in a few minutes. I think video training is a great tool for learning.
Here’s a fun training video that demonstrates how to add a YouTube video into your SMART Notebook software. This video uses a Firefox add-on called DownloadHelper to capture the YouTube video. If you’re not using Firefox then I recommend using Zamzar to capture YouTube videos to your harddrive. I’m sure other people can recommend various ways to do this.

SMART Boards and Holiday Fun #5
I have three holiday files to share with you.
The first is Christmas Carol notebook file created by my Twitter friend Rachel that contains picture clues for students to use to guess the names of popular Christmas Carols.
The second is a Christmas Letters notebook file that has all the letters in the alphabet created in a holiday motif. I got the pictures from the Christmas Alphabet website and copied the pictures to a Notebook file so you could use them easily.
The last file is a storyboard of Twas the Night Before Christmas. This could be a great activity to print or have the kids come up and draw on your SMART Board.
