Smartboard and Computer Activities

Increasingly technology has been integrated into our classrooms. The use of computers and smart boards are increasingly being used for effective teaching practices. However; the term "effective" is a key word here. There are many games and activities available but they do not necessarily contribute to assist teachers with meeting the curriculum outcomes. It can be a time consuming task finding these resources. Kinderplans.com is committed to finding or developing these necessary resources over the next few years.

If you are looking for Smart Board activities go to www.smartexchange.com. You will need to sign up for free. It is s place to share smartboard activities and find new ones. It is the only one I use right now! I use m smartboard all day long from attendance check in, morning message, to the calendar, weather, songs, poems, to reading and math activities. I changed my room around so the smartboard is in front of the group so we can easily use the board. I love it!
