SMART Advanced Level
Our SMART Advanced Users Course is for teachers who have been using their SMART Board for more than a year and who are comfortable with the concepts and strategies covered in the Fundamentals and Intermediate courses. We encourage attendees to bring examples of lessons they are using as exemplars.
The SMART Advanced Users Course focuses on building interactivity, differentiation, and multiple intelligences into SMART lessons.
An experienced education consultant from Advanced Education will lead this session, which combines formal instruction with hands on learning. Small class sizes, and a technology rich classroom with computers, SMART Boards, and LCD projectors, guarantees a superior curriculum focused learning experience for attendees.
Starting from a curriculum concept selected by the participant this session will focus on:
- Developing a template for lesson creation
- Adding video and sound to lessons
- Organizing resources within SMART Notebook Software
- Creating Notebook resources that can be reused
- Using themes and groups to assess and evaluate student progress
- Using the SMART Board as a tool to create an inclusive classroom
- Adding interactivity with the Lesson Activity Toolkit
- Strategies for participating in SMART based professional learning communities
The SMART Advanced Users Course, is a five and half hour workshop with most of the time dedicated to integrating the strategies and features of the workshop into an interactive lesson. We recommend that you bring one or more lessons from your class that can be turned into a SMART Notebook lesson. Participants will present their SMART lesson to the rest of the group at the end of the session.
