This is a simple Daily Weather & Date Chart from ICTGames.com that works great on the SMART Board. Touch the red buttons to choose the weather and date. Touch “Special Person” if you wish to enter a student’s name, and you also have the option to print that page. If you wish to import and save the weather into SMART Notebook, simply activate the Screen Capture Toolbar and use the first tool to select the area you wish to capture. It will import your image directly into Notebook. Have fun!
Check out this interactive Olympics medal tally and scorecard from iDashboards. It is really quite fascinating! You can check the medal status by Country or event and see some pretty cool statistics in near real-time. Have a look!
It’s great to be back at work after a much-needed holiday which included a rare snow day, Presidents Day, and Mardi Gras break. It was great having some time off to watch the Olympics as well! So keeping in the Olympic spirit, I thought I’d share some related activities with you. Here’s one I ran across called The Award Ceremony which can be found at http://www.mathsonline.co.uk. In this activity, students choose an Olympic event, then sort the event results into order. You can choose the difficulty by clicking on the options at the bottom of the home screen. Make sure you read the directions for sorting each event, since it could require ordering the scores greatest to least or least to greatest. Click “Award Medals” once the numbers have been sorted to check your answers. If the answers are correct, the award ceremony will begin. Check it out!

I haven’t seen snow in about 15 years. What a treat!
