A Tall Glass of Smart Board Refresher
Many teachers have interactive white boards in their classrooms. I gave a workshop in May 2017 called Smart Board Referesher. We covered how to add pdf files so you can use “digital ink” on them; how to use infiinte cloner for spelling games; how to make words appear and disappear using animation properties; and how to add different kinds of sounds, including activity timers and invisible sounds.
Download a copy of the agenda if you want.
As a treat, I gave away a folder of fun, end-of-year Notebook files. Download that here.
