Before learning more about SMART boards there were a few things that I knew already. Some things were being able to write on the board and switching to different pen, using the eraser, and being able to make a several different slides. I learned how to do these things when I was in high school. Most of my teachers had SMART boards and they would let us use them in class. Although I only know the just of the SMART board there are a couple things I would like to know how to do. For instance, I would like to know how to hide a word or sentence and only be able to see it when you put a magnified glass over it. Also, having a picture and then clicking it and having another picture show up behind it. Even though that’s only a couple of things I am curious about, there are multiple more and cannot wait to see what my classmates will teach me.
As I made my slides to show to my other classmates, I realized I did not know as much as I should. I realized I did not have as much experience in this field and should learn more about it before doing something that involves this topic. The simple things that I know how to do are easier to me but the more complex things I will have to learn from other people. One of my classmates, Amy, had an interesting lesson that she downloaded. She went through it and showed a group of us some things that I had never seen before. Some things that she should us were having one picture and clicking it and turns to another. Hiding a message or sentence and using a magnify glass to see the answer. Her lesson had all kinds of different ideas I have never seen before. When researching I found a website that gives you multiple ideas to use when using a SMART board. http://www.rce.k12tn.net/smartboard/smart%20board%20tools.htm "Smart Board Took Kit 2." Smart Board Took Kit 2. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Sept. 2015. http://www.willoughbyeastlake.k12.oh.us/classroom/technology/smart%20board%20took%20kit%20-%20new.htm This website gives your ideas and downloads to use for your SMART board and to teach a lesson to your children. It gives you multiple examples with different grade levels and subject types. I think it would be a great tool to use if you are ever stuck on what lesson to do. "SMART Board Resources." SMART Board Resources. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Sept. 2015. http://www1.center.k12.mo.us/edtech/SB/SB.html This website just like the other gives you SMART board ideas, templates ideas, tips for your SMART board, and sites to get you started. There are multiple more things you can look at on this website too. I think this would be great tool for getting tips if you have problems with your SMART board and need ideas for a lesson. What I learned from class this week is to always ask questions to the teacher or to classmates. If you had trouble with something maybe another person didn’t. Collaborating with others and working together is something that is going to be a huge part in my profession as a teacher. My understanding about the topic changed throughout the process because I realized I didn’t know as much about this topic as I thought I did. I had challenges with constructing my lesson to show the class and wasn’t sure on how to do some things, but talking with classmates I started to understand what I was trying to do.
