Stage 1
__**Content goals/expectations for this unit:**__

Our school has just purchased 15 new SMART Boards for classrooms. The teachers have observed "pilot" teachers using them throughout the previous school year. Our objective is to provide the teachers with best practices before the school year begins, such as designing lessons that incorporate the Notebook software, using the tools to include the hands-on experience of the SMART Board and the Internet, and exposing them to the many possibilities of using the Smart Board in their classroom to improve the learning experience for all students.

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 of 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. For this lesson, teachers will be designing a basic Math lesson about angles and becoming familiar with using the Notebook software. These completed lessons will give teachers a sense of accomplishment and success, which will lead to increased confidence using SMART Boards in the future. **Facts**: ** - Students learn more effectively when actively involved with the lesson. -Teachers have more flexibility in their presentation style with a SMART Board. ** -Active learning, hands-on instruction, cooperative learning, and technology integration

Teachers will be equipped with the skills to comfortably utilize a SMART Board by practicing themselves, by first exploring skills or benefits of such technology, and then following up by having them demonstrate to others and show its effectiveness.

In addition, feedback can be given verbally at the end of the in-service or through paper evaluation form as to whether or not the teacher's needs were met with satisfaction or if another in-service may be needed due to lack of time or uncomfortability that may remain due to the challenges faced by using such a technology tool.

In addition, they will further exhibit their understanding by demonstrating various tools that can be used to further engage their respective students. Teachers should answer essential questions and create a response to further their knowledge about a SMART Board.

Future lesson ideas can also be explored thus providing a choice that will make learning interesting and exciting. These choices can be done in groups and discussed and written on the Smart Board.
