SMART Board Workshop (Basics) - [revised]

The workshop went well!

Currently developing a follow-up to the workshop to see what the Teachers have created. Need to sit down and nail a date for the follow-up. In the meantime, I have revised the list below of resources that can be used with a SMART Board.

And for those who are wondering on whether or not an iPad can be used with SMART Boards. There is an app which will allow your iPad to speak to your laptop and control many of its features. Connecting the laptop to a presentation system grants you the ability to walk around the room and control things on the screen, regardless on whether it's a SMART Board or not. The app can be found here @ http://doceri.com/
