I decided that I wanted to gather information on something that would be helpful. Collecting PE resources would be beneficial, but to only a target niche. I felt like I would essentially be taking posts from peoples blogs, and reposting them onto this wiki. In lieu of that , I thought about what was needed at my school. Every classroom has a SMART-board, but only a small amount of teachers understand that it can be used for more then just a projector screen. The links below are a collection of how to's, tips and tricks to help teachers get started using their SMART-board and Notebook software. I purposely selected them because I thought they were the easiest to understand, and least overwhelming. The goal of this page is to get teachers comfortable with SMART board, not scare them off with loads of information.
This link outlines the basics of what a SMARTboard is and some of its capabilities.
