SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

This is a wonderful interactive on electric circuits called The Blobz Guide to Electric Circuits. This guide includes sections about how circuits work, switches, changing circuits and more. It also offers an activity and quiz! It’s definitely worth checking out!

Happy Monday! Today I came across (on Delicious) America on the Move from Americanhistory.si.edu. This site offers 3 interactives that help students understand how transportation has changed over time and how it has impacted the growth of America. I’d like to highlight Where’s Everyone Going? From the site: Match a variety of vehicles with their destinations and time periods to learn how much transportation in America has changed over time. Don’t forget to check out the other interactives as well: Drive Through Time and Be a Movie Director.

Here is another great activity from HarcourtSchool.com. Use this to teach your students about plotting points on a coordinate grid. Simply touch the point to find out if you are in the correct place. If you get the wrong answer, you will be given an explanation. Have fun!

This is a nice little counting activity from HarcourtSchool.com for young students that can be used as a 100th Day activity. It is narrated as well! Click the carrot to start counting. You will be asked to type in the next letter. Use your regular keyboard, or use this as a way to teach the students about the SMART Board on-screen keyboard!
