Episode 61 Smartboard Category Sorting and a Jeopardy Template

In episode 61 we cover a teaching template called category sorting with named categories. This is a great template for higher order thinking.  The students may or may not be able to quickly idenify the categories that are within all of the items on a slide.  This template is available from our website at http://teachingwithsmartboard.com.  Go to the resources tab and then find the teaching templates collection file.

We also cover a Jeopardy template in smartboard that was given to us by a listener.  It is very easy to edit and is a great review for your classes. Enjoy.

Lastly, we made a igoogle button on our website so that you can add our blog to your igoogle homepage and know whenever we upload a new podcast. 

Oh yeah, don’t forget the new jokes that we have this week.  We have a site for you to go to to check out a bunch of new clean fun 4th grade humor jokes.

Teaching with Smartboard Episode #47 Fill in the Missing Pieces (template E)

Lesson Template E

In this podcast we try to give a little structure to our lessons with something called, “Fill in the missing pieces”.  By giving the framework for the students they catch a pattern quickly.  Our examples are all mathematics related; however, this can be transformed to any subject very easily.  Students are asked to solve problems out of the normal sequence including backwards.  We also talk about how to save a page to the gallery.  As always, we have a couple of jokes for you.  Hope you can join us.
