SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

Thanks to @waltonjm for sharing on Twitter these Fridge Letters found at Awenmedia.com. Similar to the Word Magnets I posted about a few days ago, but different in that this is a downloadable file that you will need to install and run from your desktop. It is free, and there is also a few other freebies found on the site.

Learningclip.co.uk is a math website that includes many different interactive activities that work well on the SMART Board. What’s different about this site is that each activity begins with a video clip explaining the activity.  This site is based out of the UK, so you’ll have to watch for the currency and measurement differences. The activities can be made full screen, and each comes with 3 handy tools to help students work the problem on the board: a clock, calculator, and notepad. The resources are free, but you do need to create an account to access them. It’s well worth it! Check out Division Ducks.

Here is one last resource I wanted to share with you before I start my weekend. I found a Halloween word problems SMART Notebook lesson created by Lindsay Angelo on TeqSmart.org. It’s fantastic for 1st and 2nd graders! You must log in to download the lesson, so be sure to create your free account first. Here is a preview:

BGfL.org (Birmingham Grid for Learning) is a fantastic collection of interactive activities based out of the UK for students of all ages that can be used on the SMART Board. From the site:

BGfL provides a wealth of information and activities that are not only educationally sound, engaging and fun, but are also highly focused on appropriate interfaces for each key stage and for teachers.

Here is just one of the many interactives found at BGfL.org called Don’t Use Said (“A great teaching resource for looking at alternatives to the word ‘said’ in written work.”) I could see this being used for a DOL activity on the SMART Board. There are many more, so click here to view additional Primary resources.
