New SmartBoard Attendance Themes – Beach and Ocean

I just uploaded two new SmartBoard attendance themes to my TPT store. Here’s a preview:

Beach theme: Students move their starfish from the ocean up to the beach to show they are at school for the day!

 

Ocean theme: Students drag a bubble up to their name to show they are at school!

    I believe there is a way to open a SmartBoard file in Promethean software, but I honestly do not know about the functionality of it. Sorry I can’t help you much there! I have never used a Promethean board.

    To open a SmartBoard file using Activinspire, just go to Promethean Planet. There is a tutorial to help you. 🙂

    Mrs. Davidson,
    I have a Promethean board and there is a choice on the menu that says open a smartfile (or something to that effect.) You can open a smartboard file but I have had problems with the files looking right. When we go back to school in the fall I am going to check with the tech coordinator.

    @Mrs. Lochridge: I use Smart Notebook software, which is the software used with SmartBoards.

    I have a smartboard, but have no idea how to do all of these fun things. Any tips on where I can go to learn how to design fun things like your attendance?

    I’m mostly self-taught when it comes to SmartBoard activities. I worked in a computer lab for two years and that helped me learn a lot of things. Have you ever visited the Smart Lesson Exchange? http://exchange.smarttech.com There are tons of lessons and activities already made! You can edit them to fit the needs of your classroom.

    Smart also has a training site: http://www.smarttech.com/us/Resources/Training/Training+Search

    Also, there is a free lesson here: http://www.teacheronlinetraining.com/complimentary/ It goes over many Notebook features and could help you with creating files. There are other lessons available for purchase, but the Magic Slider free lesson does provide some good information. Even I learned some things from the lesson!

    Does your board run slowly with large amounts of picture files? I’ve had this issue with attendance when I used images at the beginning of last year.

    Hmm…I haven’t had a problem with the amount of images. I have had issues in the past with certain flash objects not working (like the rolling dice you can add in). I guess it would depend on how much available memory you have on your computer and how old your computer is.

    I am hoping to add some smartboard files to my new blog. I have uploaded the files to TpT as free items. Can you help me figure out how I can now add these to my blog as clickable pictures as you did with your attendance themes above?

    I often make my own preview images for TPT because a lot of my files are in a ZIP format and TPT does not automatically generate thumbnails for ZIP files. I usually take screenshots of my products and then resize them and then insert them into my blog!

    ThistleGirlDesigns is where all of my graphics come from. You’ll need to make a blog button with some sort of graphics program (Paint, PhotoShop, etc.). If you Google “How to make a blog button” I’m sure you’ll find some tips. I know some have been posted recently but I don’t have the link to those pages. Sorry!
