Our school has just purchased 15 new SMART Boards for classrooms in Edgewood Elementary School. The teachers have observed "pilot" teachers using them throughout the previous school year. These teachers have already attended a short in-service on SMART Boards that reviewed the most basic features. Our objective is to provide the teachers with a plethora of best practices before the school year begins.
 * ANALYSIS **
 * Content: **

There are two main focal points to our professional development. The first is to provide an overall integration of the SMART Board as an effective tool in the classroom. The second focal point is to give the teachers the opportunity to have a hands-on experience so they become comfortable with actually using the SMART Board itself. To address the overall integration aspect of this professional development, teachers will be introduced to SMART Boards as a multimedia tool rather than as a glorified whiteboard. Best practices would include having students and teachers use the interactivity of the whiteboard to access multiple modalities and learning styles, such as kinesthetic learners moving words, pictures and definitions to make the connections. Another idea along these lines is having virtual field trips within the classroom to provide real world applications to concepts taught in the classroom, such as viewing online tours of historical sites, Google Earth for landforms, watching a roller coaster in motion to illustrate the different forces of motion, etc... Another example of best practices for using the SMART Board includes incorporating visual literacy into content with pictures and video to help bilingual and special education students. This is also helpful for illustrating abstract concepts and providing necessary background information to increase comprehension and understanding.

The second focal point of the SMART Board professional development is providing a hands-on experience where teachers are able to create a lesson using the different SMART Board tools, with the assistance of teachers/trainers who already have experience using SMART Boards. Best practices include modeling, which would be provided by the trainer and/or a video downloaded from the SMART website showing how to use the various tools. Then, the experienced teachers will model lessons they have created, which would be followed by teachers working together to create actual lessons that can be used in their classrooms. These completed lessons will give teachers a sense of accomplishment and success, which will lead to increased confidence using SMART Boards in the future.

The learners are all adult teachers that range in age, teaching experience, and familiarity with technology. All teachers attending this in-service speak English as their first language. Many teachers may experience, to various degrees, a sense of being overwhelmed with the amount of information provided. We hope to alleviate any anxiety with regular reviewing and a comfortable question and answer environment. The in-service is provided as a result of the interest expressed by these teachers to have a SMART Board in their classrooms, so motivation will be high. The hands-on portion of the in-service will provide an opportunity to address the different learning styles of the participants. An interest inventory will have been completed prior to the professional development, so the various topics mentioned will be covered as well.

There are two potential educational environments that will create a positive learning atmosphere in stimulating best practices via the use of a SMART Board: 1) Train-the-Trainer Staff Development Day – a training session before the start of the school year in which faculty sign up to attend. The trainers for the day have all attended a SMART Board certification program where they were trained to train the rest of their peers. An enrollment limit will be used due to the number of computers and seats within our computer lab. All participants will be considered novice users since they have never used a SMART Board in their classrooms before. This means the training will only cover Level 1 (basic) SMART Board operations (as detailed in the Task section below). The teachers will be grouped according to their grade levels (K, 1, 2 - primary) and (3, 4, 5 - intermediate) to allow the highest level of collaboration among faculty. This will allow the grade levels to discuss similar goals, ideas, lesson plans, and practice troubleshooting problems together. The staff members who run the sessions will receive an agreed upon stipend, and our school district will be responsible for paying the stipends. This type of training environment is much cheaper for the district. Another benefit of having the in-service run by fellow faculty members is that if participants have specific questions, the trainer is on-site to answer them in a quick and efficient manner. The trainers can also easily follow up with participants after the sessions because they are all faculty members in the same school district. A shortcoming of this type of training is that the trainer is assumed to have mastered the technology, which is not always the case. What happens if the trainer is not dynamic or lacks an engaging presentation style? Time restrictions on the in-service day may also not allow the trainer to deliver the SMART curriculum in the manner it was intended. The time allotted to the SMART Board in-service may not be enough for some learners who need extra one-on-one time. It must be determined if the training will be one whole session for the entire institute day, or are the participants bouncing from one room to another seeing various presentations throughout the day. 2) On-Site Training from SMART – This could still be considered a staff development day, but the trainers used would come directly from SMART Technologies. SMART provides full-day, half-day, or train-the-trainer teaching sessions. The beauty of this type of training is that the tutorials are provided by the very people who created this instructional tool. These trainers are considered top of the line. Some of the drawbacks to this type of training are that a SMART Technologies trainer is not as easily available for follow-up questions as an in-house trainer from your school or district. Often there is a minimum number of participants required for the class to run, and the progression and integrity of the lessons may be diminished because of specific questions the participants ask. Again, the time allotted to the SmartBoard in-service may not be enough for some learners who need extra one-on-one time. Finally, outsourcing training for everyone in the district would be very expensive and not very cost-effective to the district.

Example of an activity that would demonstrate the use of a SMART Board would be to have a signature card, blank check, deposit slip, and check register during a checking account unit for business education up on a SMART Board: =** DESIGN ** = The learners will examine different ways of using the SmartBoard as a multimedia tool in the classroom. Terminal Objective: Given a computer and SMART board, the learners will determine the best ways to incorporate interactive activities in the classroom. Enabling Objectives: Learners will use various websites, SMART Notebook software, and Microsoft applications including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to create interactive lessons.
 * Create a template of a blank signature card, blank check, deposit slip, and check register.
 * Develop an activity of a fictitious situation in which the whole class can do together in which students are maintaining a checking account.
 * Fill out a signature card to open a checking account (student or students come up to demonstrate in front of class).
 * Students fill out a blank check, deposit slip, and check register and the teacher will demonstrate the relationship between the forms to their checking account. In addition, the teacher then can use the various red, blue, green, and black pens on the SMART Board to further emphasize various sections of these banking forms.
 * As students come up, they have an accompanied worksheet and other peers can critique their ability to maintain a checking account.
 * Objectives: **


 * Learning Experiences: **

At the conclusion of the training session, learners will create at least one interactive SMART Notebook math lesson that is appropriate to the grade level they teach. This lesson will include: - a hyperlink to a website that will interactively reinforce the specific skill being taught in the lesson - a link to an attached Microsoft document (Word or Excel – whichever one is most applicable) where students will complete their math homework using the Ink Aware application. - use of the hide-and-seek feature to gradually reveal information - use of Gallery items to make the lesson as interactive as possible Throughout the entire training session the trainer will formatively assess participants after each small session using observation, open Q and A, and the questions below. The hands-on practice tasks provided by the trainer allow him/her to really assist those participants who need extra help. Completion of the learning experience (above) will be the participants’ summative assessment. Also, at the end of the training, all participants will complete a survey about the strengths and weaknesses of the training session. 1. Name the 3 components required to operate a SMART Board interactive whiteboard. 2. How do you know when the interactive whiteboard is ready to be used? 3. (On the SmartBoard picture) Circle the pen-tray button that launches the On-Screen Keyboard. 4. Describe one way to begin the orientation process. 5.

** Technology & Media needs: ** The technology resources available for our presentation include 15 mounted SMART Boards in teachers’ classrooms at our school, 2 movable SMART Boards that will be placed in the computer lab during the training session, 30 HP computers, 1 colored printer, trainer computer (which must have an available USB port to connect to the receiver), and projector and cables (power and VGA) for connection to the trainer’s laptop. Resources needed: Level 1 learner workbook for all participants (depending on the number that register to attend) **Strengths** of our design include: we did an interest inventory of the teachers on what they would like to get out of the training, creating mentor/peer relationships which will offer long-term opportunities for collaboration at the school and district level, technology environment needs were very well met, teachers will be able to bring back at least one usable lesson from the summative learning experience, and we were able to reflect on our training experience with the exit survey.  **Limitations** of our design: participants may come in with varying degrees of general computer/technology familiarity, not enough time to explore the hands-on tools that the SMART Board has to offer, not enough time to let participants “play” and explore as much as they probably need to, only 2 SMART Boards available in the computer lab to practice with (rest are mounted in classrooms) and trainer to participant ratio may be as high as 15 to 1 depending on financial support from the district.
