Oh...the places you'll go!
By Webmistress

Rebecca,

Great things with the SmartBoard...as long as you let your imagination run wild.

Have kids practice their handwriting. Then 'lasso' that word and tap to convert to a font and see if the computer recognizes their print -- the kids have a blast with this and for once you're off the hook.

Great to have scrambled sentences and have the students 'move' each word object into it's correct location.

The only problem that I've really found is that if your SmartBoard is on a moveable cart (mine is), even though there is a locking position students tend to bump into it. My solution? Assign 2 students to be 'goalies', one sitting on either side on the floor by the legs. Rotate this duty.

Hope this helps!
