This weeks entry is for those becoming familiar with SMART boards. Two educators, one out of the states and one from Winnipeg, have been creating Podcasts about SMART boards for a couple of years. They have done over 150 podcasts incorporating most school subjects such as science, math, socials, language arts, etc.
Each podcast is about 40 min. during which time they talk about ways to incorporate SMART boards into your classroom. They often invite teachers along who have used the boards and share their ideas. You can download the podcasts free of charge at their website and listen to them when you have the time. You can find their site at pdtogo.com/smart.
Some of you have been trying to leave comments on the blog. Unfortunately you need to have a google account in order to do that. To sign up, go to google and click down in the right hand side where it says "Create an account now". It takes only a minute and then you have access to Gmail and other Google programs. You can then leave a message on the blog for others to read as well.

Thanks, Mike, for the research you have been doing to keep this blog updated and full of helpful information! A suggestion for teachers - if you don't have a Pro-D activity planned for Oct. 23, you might consider exploring some of these sites and watching the Pod casts on your own or with a group of teachers.

That's a great idea. If any GSS staff would like to pursue this, let me know. There are video podcasts as well and I'll talk more about those in another posting.
