Assignment #2 - SMART board activity

My first SMART board activity is called "Choosing the Right Word"
My second SMART board activity is called "Mother's Day Math"

The NETS standards for students in the activity, "Choosing the Right Word" include standard one, three, and six.

This activity meets standard one because in the activity the student demonstrates creative thinking, creates orginial works in the creation of sentences, and forcasts the possibilities in creating the correct sentence.

This activity also meets standard three because in the activity the student uses a digital tool, the SMART board, to gather, evaluate, and use information. The student also process' data and reports results in this activity.

This activity meets the sixth standard because the student is demonstrating an understanding of technology systems and operations within the activity. While performing the activity the student is using the technology system of the SMART board, and is using their current knowledge of how technology works and is applying it to this activity.


The NETS standard for teachers in the activity, "Choosing the Right Word," include standards one, two, and three.

This activity meets standard one because the teacher is using his/her knowledge of how technology works to facilitate this activity. The teacher is also promoting creative thinking using a digital tool to engage student learning.

This activity meets standard two because the teacher is adapting relevant learning experiences that incorporate the SMART board and it's tools to promote student learning and creativity. The teacher is also enriching the learning environment by using a tool that captures the students attention and active participation.

This activity meets the third standard because the teacher is exhibiting knowledge, and skills of a technological system when using and demonstrating the use of the SMART board. The teacher is also modeling and facilitating the use of the SMART board to support the work of the students.

My second activity, "Mother's Day Math," shares the same standards of my first activity, because it is using the same skill and participation of the students and the teacher.

  I think the SMART board will improve the student learning in my future classroom in many ways. When comparing today's technology to the technology that was used when I was in Elementary school, the technology of today has improved and is more efficient than ever. I can only imagine the possibilities will increae. With the SMART board the students will be more inspired, more encouraged to expand their technological skills, and there will be more learning styles met.
