SMART Board Goodies A Resource Blog by Amber Coggin 

Grammaropolis.com has a cool word sort game that works well on the SMART Board. Drag the words to the appropriate barrel (Noun, Adjective, Linking Verb, etc.) as they fall from the sky. Check it out!

I’ve blogged about Spark Island before, but I wanted to share with you again the free interactives available. Spin to Win is my favorite! This game helps students learn prefixes and suffixes while also having fun! This game works great on the SMART Board. Check it out!

Check out SpellingConnectionsOnline.com by Zaner-Bloser. This site goes with the company’s Spelling Connections program; however, anyone can use this site! There are several games and activities, and most work well on the SMART Board with the exception of a few the require keyboard entry (but those are great, too!). There are many different levels and units within each game as well. Below is one of the Complete the Sentence activities.

I originally found this wonderful collection of whiteboard resources while browsing some Delicious bookmarks. Then it led me to a post made yesterday on EdGalaxy.com. These resources were compiled by Philip Crammond, and they include some I’ve never seen before. Please browse this fabulous resource! You will find many things that you can use.

Here are two of my favorites:

Letter Formation Writing Repeater- “Write your letter or hand writing pattern, save them and replay them on an IWB. For slow playback you will need to write the word slowly!”

Class Minder: “A digital assistant that keeps an eye on your class on those rare occasions when you have to pop out.” This is hilarious! Give your students a laugh. The “assistant” moves his eyes and makes different facial expressions.
