[LIT] Smart Board and Language Arts

[Janet Smith]

Kim, PLEASE share your websites to download the software. We are in the
process of submitting a grant for smartboards, but in the meantime, we can
use our computers to put lessons on our tv monitors in our rooms. I am
thinking about using the SMB to model writing lessons, journaling, etc. 
Thanks, Janet

I adored my SMB, but when I changed schools I had to leave it.  Now I just
use the software, which is free to download.  Anything you can do on a
regular board, overhead, or computer you can do on Smartboard.  Think of it
as a huge computer monitor with touchscreen.  On top of that, you can show
videos, change handwriting into font, and save and print notes, websites,
and .charts.  You can even record your mini-lessons and your voice to replay
for kids who need more than one expose or absent kids.  I'll look up my
sites.  There are tons of them.  Folks in England use a lot of excell to
make up lessons.

Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, let go of what you can't
change, kiss slowly, play hard, forgive quickly, take chances, give
everything, have no regrets.. Life's too short to be anything but happy.
