=Welcome to the Smitha Smartboard Trainings Wiki=

==This page is for ideas on what content we want to cover. I will also post all suggestions I received from teachers. I have placed groups to put ideas under. There is a separate page labeled groups (see left) where I have put class names and will put tentative names of teachers under them. If you want to just discuss something, have a great idea and are not sure where it goes, vent, etc. then please click on the discussion tab at the top. I am trying to make this as easy as possible for us to plan without actually getting together since I know everyone is busy.==

__Novice__ __Class__ (know absolutely nothing; even turning on the board is a challenge)
 * How to turn on the board
 * How to orient the board
 * How to use the side dashboard (is this what it is actually called?)
 * How to create a notebook
 * Gallery
 * How to use items on the tool bar (shapes, magic pen, pens, eraser, lines, shapes, etc.)
 * If time permits, go over items from the emerging class--let them work on creating lessons
 * May need to take time and actually go with some of them to their classroom and walk them thru using THEIR board.

__Emerging Class__ (know what a smartboard is but have never actually used one; have proficient technology skills, easily pick up new information)
 * Quickly (or as quickly as possible) go over info from novice class

__Intermediate Class__ (have used a Smartboard before, but not quite comfortable; need ideas for further lessons and how to make lessons interactive)

__Advanced Intermediate Class__ (are fairly comfortable using a smartboard, but would like to make lessons more interactive; show some bells and whistles)
