At this Cohort meeting, the topic was "Putting SMART Technology in the Hands of Your Students."

First, Scot demonstrated the SMART Slate (formerly called Airliner).

Next Sarah presented on ideas for using Notebook in a lab or laptop setting with students working through lessons individually. She also demonstrated some ways that students could use the Board as a "station" in class. For Sarah's presentation:

Chris demonstrated some tools in Lesson Activity Toolkit that can be used for student interactivity.

For next time: 1. Try a lesson in which students are using the software and/or hardware. Post some thoughts on the discussion board. 2. Work on your SEE application (if you would like to become a SEE this year). Email Sarah if you have any questions about this. 3. Contribute to the Wiki! Remember, one lucky winner will get a free SMART Slate from SMART Tech. Every post or contribution to the wiki gets you an entry in the drawing.
