Living and Learning in Central Oregon

A few weeks ago I attended a SMART board training in Pendleton, Oregon.  The half day training was a great introduction on how to use a SMART board and the software that SMART offers.  The Notebook software from SMART was great.  Since our district owns some SMART boards we are allowed to download and use this software districtwide.  It is awesome.  Even without a SMART board teachers can prepare and share notes with students using this software.  The tablet PC’s we have at some schools makes this even easier.  One thing that caught my eye and intrigued me at this training were the SMART Airliners.  I would love to get my hands on a few of these to explore how they can be used in classrooms. Go to http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/item.php?itemID=9608 to view a fun, interesting, and informative classroom video highlighting the use of SMART boards.
