Instructional Guide for Presenter

Presenter: Must have knowledge of Smart Notebook 10 and Smart Board. Smart Training manual is available if needed.

Lesson: Smart Board/Smart Notebook Training for Kindergarten Teachers

Objectives: Upon completion of this unit of instruction teachers will be able to:

1. Create a lesson they can use in their classroom which has been equipped with a Smartboard.

2. Collaborate with each other to create useful Smartboard lessons using Smart Notebook 10 that promote student engagement.

Learner Background: Participants have had previous one hour training in Smart Board integration in the past month. They have also had the SmartBoard in their classrooms for some time. Installations began in October 2010.

Materials: Chart paper, Post it Notes, and markers

Technology: Computer with internet access and a Smartboard

Handouts: Copies of Reflection Worksheet and Training Evaluation.

Throughout the training:

Formative Evaluation: Question to gain feedback on how the process is going so far. Questions such as:

• Are you learning anything new?

• Is there anything else that needs to be included in the training?

• Is this too much information for you at one time?

• Am I presenting too fast/slow?

• Are you missing any information to continue with what you are doing

This information should be collected and changes in the process should accommodate the current situation. This process should continue throughout the training session.

Facilitator will need Learner/Needs analysis sheet to keep with him/her throughout the meeting to record individual strengths/weaknesses and needs. Make goals for the participant and list on the chart as well.

Pre-workshop activities: Hang 2 pieces of chart paper on wall and label them: Daily Lesson to use with Smartboard and types of Smart Notebook activities we would like to learn

1. Introductions: Have all participants give their name and tell what ways they have used their SmartBoard/SmartNotebook software over the last 2 months. Make notes on each of their progress on the learner/needs analysis of participants

2. Explain that the charts are for collaborative efforts. We may find that more than one person may want to learn something. They can use the post it notes and markers to put their ideas on the wall.

3. To gain the attention of the learner watch the videos that are include on the Glogster on Smart Boards. The web address is

After the video is over, participants can list any ideas they would like to incorporate into their lessons on the chart.

4. Participants will participate in a sample Vowel smart notebook lesson. After the lesson, they will discuss what things they liked and may want to incorporate into their lessons. Lesson is located at . After the lesson ask questions to collect information on the learner and their needs:

• How did this Smartboard lesson facilitate engagement?

• Would your students prefer this type of instruction? Why?

• In what ways could you use the Smartboard to help your students learn?

Discuss other ways to find Smart Notebook lessons or Smart Board activities. Review Links:

5. Group Collaboration: Discuss ways that Smart Notebook/ Smart Board activities can help engage Jonesboro Kindergarten students.

Instruct participants to begin to put together a list of daily lesson activities that could be made more engaging by using the Smartboard. (ie: Word Work Calendar Math etc.)

As teachers begin to make a list, make references to different parts Smart Notebook 10 Toolbar.

• Math: Shape and Line Tool, notebook files and pages

• Discovery Streaming: Attachment tool

• Spelling: Flash Games in the Gallery

• Writing: Backgrounds, pen properties, magic pen

• Science: Gallery Search

Continue to make notes in the learner/needs analysis and begin making goals and objectives for active learning.

6. Active Learning: Participants will begin to construct their own Smart Notebook/Smart Board lessons. As participants begin, make notes in the learner/needs analysis chart. Provide assistance only when needed. Participants will incorporate some of the ideas gathered earlier in the session. They may collaborate with each other for ideas and suggestions. Sample questions to promote learning:

• What else can you try?

• What can you add to make things more engaging?

• Did you search the gallery for other ideas?

• Do any of the other participants have ideas for your project?

7. Reflection: Participants will fill out the reflection worksheet and share with the group. They will again gather ideas from each other about what works well and what does not.

8. Evaluation: Participants will fill out the training evaluation to leave with the presenter. They will also set up a meeting with the district technology coach to view the completed lesson integrated into the classroom. All lessons will be saved in the JKC shared drive for others to use as well.
