Smart Notebook

Smart Notebook

Smartboard users will be interested to hear that SMART have announced the
release of the beta of  a web version of Smart Notebook Web.
This was previously known as Smart Notebook Express.

Now called  SMART Notebook Web, this allows you to access
Smart Notebook via your web browser with no need for any software to be installed.

The beta only allows files to be opened, there’s no Save facility just yet, but it
would let teachers and students interact with ready-made Smart Notebook files.

The interface resembles a cut down SMART 11.
There is a pen, highlight, shapes, and eraser.
No text tool just yet, which seems a bit of an omission, even for a beta.

Use the site's new in-line privacy tools

* Protect your online reputation

PBS Kids Cyberchase

PBS Kids Cyberchase

PBS Kids Cyberchase offers online and offline mathematics games
and activities. The collection of more than forty online games are designed
to make students think about patterns and use logic to solve challenges.
The offline activities use the same model, but are designed for hands-on
offline learning.

The highlight of the Cyberchase online activities are the "quest" activities
in which students have to solve problems as along a journey as they work toward
a goal. For example, in Mission Motherboard students have to solve problems to
earn money that they then use to buy parts to fix a motherboard. Not all of the
games are as time intensive as Mission Motherboard. A quick activity is the
Virtual Coin Flip. The Virtual Coin Flip teaches students a short lesson in
probability. There is a supplementary explanatory video to go along with each
game in the Cyberchase online activities.
