18. How to Use A SmartboardHow to Use A Smartboard
• Presentations, music lessons, digital slide shows
• PowerPoint presentations done by students and teachers.
• Lectures and teaching, especially math.
• Use it for assemblies and to show kids something you need to get across.
• Bring up a map and show a route and have the students describe using N.S.E.W. directions.
• As a class, create a slide show. Use Inspiration and the web. Students can do their presentations,
make
reports, etc. Create a class quilt about each person - Who I am
• Create digital portfolios.
• Save lessons to present to students who were absent.
• Teach computer skills and keyboarding.
• Write stories and proofread them as a group.
• Brainstorming.
• It is an ideal way to teach students the toolbars and the purpose of each icon on the computer
• Do daily language on Smart Board. Have kids come up and make changes using editing and
proofreading marks.
Also use highlighter tool to highlight nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.
• Use it with Kidspiration. The Smart Board would lend itself perfectly for this for as a whole class
brainstorming or for individuals presenting their ideas.
• Preschool computer learning to let the group play at learning and avoid mouse dexterity problems.
• In an art class.
• Illustrate and write a book. The recorder feature is a good idea. Teachers can truly become facilitators
in the
classroom.
• View PowerPoint presentations.
• Group Internet searches.
• Put out a final lesson or a slide show so that students could show their family what they did in the
computer
lab that day.
• Use the "record" feature to make a short movie to demonstrate steps in using computer software.
Example -
Teaching Adobe Premier - record a short movie of "Importing a Still Image." Make a lot of short movies
with
an index. Create a "How To" CD for class/students to use.

The ideas are endless when you bring the

be used to archive important lessons only

posting lessons missed by absent students
on the class website. It helps working
parents keep in touch and involved by
recording presentations to burn onto a disk
or post once again. Have the kids
brainstorm on paper a “how to” project, write
a script, revise/edit, then type a published
copy only to turn around and make a
recording. There are endless opportunities
here for in-depth learning. Check out this

Make the classroom computers a part of your
instructional day rather than something to use
after the 'real' work is done. All students
deserve an equal opportunity to use the
classroom computers - not just those who
work fast enough to beat the rest to it. It's
those who maybe wouldn't ever get a chance to
use the classroom computer who can often
times benefit from it the most.
