Smart-board

I am not an avid Smart-board user, although I would like to be. There are so many features and programs which can be incorporated into lessons of all subject areas. I've seen a few and I would love to learn how to use it more efficiently. I try to play around with the one in my classroom as much as possible but there is never enough time during the school day. One of my classmate and student teacher next door came in and showed me a very cool program she used with her class. She did a grammar lesson on adjectives and adverbs. There are 2 circles that spin really fast, round and round. The students choose from the word list on the board if the word is an adjective or adverb. They place the word into the circle of adjective or adverb. If it's correct it just spins. If it's incorrect it spits it out! It is fun and interactive. If I'm amused and find it cool, I'm sure my first graders will love it too! Hopefully, I'll be able to learn a lot more different features and functions of the Smart-board.
