Smartboard Lesson

I completed a lesson appropriate for first graders on Nouns in SMART Notebook, compatible with SmartBoards. I have never used this program before and found it extremely difficult to work the program. I was up until late hours in the morning working on my project to get it to the standard I wanted it at. In total I spent at least 6 hours on it. I tried to utilize some of the games that were available in the program but had difficulty figuring out how to alter them to the grade level I intended it for. I wish we were given more instruction on how to use this program. After working on it for quite some time I did get the hang of it and feel it would be a great program to use with any Smartboard. If I am privileged enough to get a teaching job, yet alone a job with a smart board included in the classroom, I will utilize this program to its potential because it is an excellent source to get students involved in the lesson.
