A SMART Board User’s Group is forming! The SMART Board User’s Group will hold an inaugural meeting on Friday, November 9 at 1:30 p.m. in the Library Conference Room in the Lower Level of the library. The purpose of this group is to share ideas and learn new integration strategies for using the SMART Board in the classroom. If you don’t use a SMART Board but are interested in learning more, please feel free to attend.
At our first meeting to get us started with dialogue and sharing, I will highlight a few of the new features within SMART Notebook 11. We will also plan future meeting times and locations.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me, Jodi Moore at moore65@canisius.edu.
