I love to share my SMART Board™ knowledge with fellow educators and began doing so through workshops over three years ago. Below are brief descriptions of my workshops, which vary in length and can be altered to fit your needs.
SMART Boards™ - Beginning Level (2 days)
During this two-day workshop, you’ll learn the basics of using SMART Board™ technology to enhance your teaching.

Most of the time will be spent modeling the software applications and sharing technology resources along with guided practice. Participants will be expected to create and share a small project with others. An intermediate level SMART Board™ workshop is also being offered for more advanced users. Please select the workshop that is most appropriate for your skill and comfort level.
