Session Description
Enhancing your use of technology may be as simple
as fully utilizing your SMARTBoard software. In
this digital age it is important to engage
students. Interactive lessons achieve that goal.
SMART offers many lessons that coordinate with
your subject area. Many activities can be found
online as well. I will share lessons and
activities as well as links for more resources.
Wonderful for whole class and also excellent for
differentiation.
