SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

What an exciting resource to use on the SMART Board! I ran across Word Magnets by Triptico.co.uk while searching through some SMART Board delicious links. Here is the explanation from the site:

Word Magnets will take a piece of text and break it into individual magnets which can be moved around the screen, resized, removed, colour coded, grouped, sorted and so on. New magnets can also be added at any point.

Have fun with this one!

UPDATE: The new multilingual Word Magnets have just been released!

Here is a calculator from Metacalc.com that works well on the SMART Board. Make sure you use the enlarged version! Update: Here is another calculator that can be found at HelpKidzLearn.com.

The web-based, slimmed down version of Notebook Software has launched. This version of Notebook will allow you to open and edit a Notebook file from any computer that has internet access.

Here is the description from the site:

SMART Notebook Express is the new lightweight, web-based version of SMART Notebook software, and is the latest addition to the SMART Notebook family of products. It offers open access to some of the same delivery and editing features that have made SMART Notebook the world’s most popular collaborative learning software. You don’t need to log on and there’s no software to download – all you need is access to the Internet.

The tools available at this time are the Page Sorter, Text-editing tool, Pen Tool, and Single object selection, move and delete. Please click here to launch the application, or visit the SMART Tech site to learn more.
