The courses on Teacher Online Training are so easy to complete and they really are a lot of fun. Teachers have completed well over 1200 courses on Teacher Online Training and they have recommended the courses over 99.7% of the time. That’s a lot better than 4 out of 5 dentists!
Yesterday I went off on a tangent - something that happens often - and I ended up developing a Notebook 10 Smartboard resource for the Gettysburg Address.
You’re welcome to download and use the application in your classroom or you can share it with other teachers.
To keep my skills fine-tuned, I thought I would send out a Tweet (Twitter message) to my Smartboard followers to see if anyone needed a fun Notebook application for their classroom.
I am putting the finishing touches on my new self-paced online course called Notebook Techniques: An Introduction to Tables. It was my intent to upload the completed course to my Learning Management System sometime today; however, due to technical difficulties, the course may not be available until tomorrow.

Providing a wealth of resources for K-12 science educators, Science NetLinks is your guide to meaningful standards-based Internet experiences for students.
While browsing around the SMART Exchange forum, I ran across a post entitled Notebook lessons for Elementary and Middle School Mathematics. In this post, Harvey shares his wonderful website that contains (among many things) a list of math Notebook lessons. Harvey does a great job describing his lessons and he even includes a screen shot so you can get a better feel for the lesson’s content.
Smart Technologies has a great document for teachers who are just beginning to use their SMART Board interactive whiteboard and aren’t quite sure what to do next. The Notebook Software Activity Guide gives an overview of how to create engaging lessons using the Notebook software.
My good friend Danny from across the pond tipped me off on the UK’s RSPCA website for learning about caring for animals. The RSPCA promotes kindness and preventing cruelty to animals and in doing so has created a great interactive resource for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
