Teaching with Smartboard.com

I just wanted to share with you the work that Ed Watson, a math teacher at Naperville Central High School, is doing with his classes.  He is posting all his completed Smartboard Lessons online through Google Sites.  Basically, at the end of the lesson Ed will export his Smartboard document as a PDF.  A PDF is a digital version of the Smartboard slides and is universal so that anyone can read it.   (In Smartboard click on File, then Export, and then PDF and save it to a location on your computer)  After he makes it a PDF he uploads it to his website on Google Sites.  (Ask the tech person at your school to help you upload PDF’s)   Google sites is a very easy to learn and is FREE.  If you have a Google account, then you already have access Google Sites.  Ed just got an email yesterday from a student who has mono and was expressing his appreciation for being able to go online and keep up to date with what happens in class.  Ed says that he uploads the PDF’s before the students get home from school each day and it only takes him a couple of minutes to do.  Here is the link to Ed’s Site to check it out and see it for yourself.  http://sites.google.com/site/honorsprecalculussite/home

Here is a picture of what the students see at Ed Watson’s Site
