Like any tool, the Smart Board used in combination with good educational practices can be a wonderful addition to best practices in your classroom. This introductory session is intended merely to whet your appetite, and does not give full coverage of everything that the board can accomplish. Below are a few of the websites we touched upon in our training. Each of these sites uses a hands-on approach and thus is ideal for Smart Board use.

• GameBone: Number identification on a grid
• Fraction Bars: Examination and comparison of fractions, decimals, and percents
• Money: Making change using drag and drop
• Aplusmath: A variety of games
• Engineering Interact: Explorations of sound, force & motion, electricity, light and the solar system
• Casing the Joint: Investigation into skeletal structure and movement
• Vector Park: Weird and fun (levers)
