Interested in Learning Photoshop or Excel for FREE?

Hey friends! It has surely been too long since I have posted anything to share. I have missed blogging and sharing with you. Hopefully things will settle down and I can resume my posting in a more timely manner. Today, I ran across this awesome chance for anyone to brush up on Excel skills or learn Photoshop free! Thanks goes to my Twitter friend, Lisa Monthie who I was so thrilled to meet in person this past February. She is full of information and tips.

I Have an Interactive Whiteboard, Now What? - Atomic Learning

I Have an Interactive Whiteboard, Now What? - Atomic Learning

Congratulations to those teachers who have recently become new owners of a Smart Board for their classrooms. We have several places that we can recommend to get you started using your new technology tool. I posted Atomic Learning's link to their workshop that is a great place to begin. We also have teachers who have presented during our Professional Development days and have posted resources on our LCM technology wiki which I recommend you visiting. You have to have an account in wikispaces (free) to be able to join and view the materials. There are some exciting ideas there, but the best place for resources is within Smart Exchange with Smart Tech. They have a great amount of lesson plans and teacher made lessons for you to use immediately. You have to join (free) to be able to view and download the lessons. I find it valuable to join the Smart community to connect with teachers in your grade level and subject area. It is a forum where you can look for answers to problems with your lessons. Last, but not least is the ever so awesome NING that I have experienced and find helpful. It is called the Smart Revolution and is worth the visit. BTW, enjoy your new Smart Board!
