Smart Board Wiki by Nancy Powell
One of the freebies that I shared with you is the Classroom Management set. Nancy Powell is the creator of this Smart lesson/tool and has a wonderful wiki where she posts a lot of SmartBoard info and help. Here is her wiki site:
No Smart Board or Projector in your Classroom? No worries!!
The mice that we ordered have come in and should have been delivered to all who ordered them.
If you'd like me to help you implement a Smart lesson in your classroom, let me know. I'd love to assist you!

Saving Smart Lessons to your OneDrive
There are a couple of ways to save your favorite Smart lessons for quick access anytime. Flash drives and OneDrive are two of the simplest ways. OneDrive is accessible anywhere you have your laptop, or on any computer as long as you have internet access.
If you choose to save to OneDrive, you may want to consider how you want these files organized. Perhaps creating a folder called Smart Lessons, then creating subfolders for the types of lessons you save (such as Math, Science, etc.) would help in finding your lessons easier. Another consideration - sometimes lessons have strange saved names. You may want to consider renaming them as you are saving.
