I was really pleased after school today to see the fruits of my training labours (from last year) paying off. I was in my classroom when a Teaching Assistant came in to ask a question about using the Smart Notebook software to create a resource.
Although their initial question was to ask where to find some resources (the Goldilocks clipart within the gallery), once I showed them where within the Gallery Essentials to find it all, they then began to create a resource whilst I watched: A background was chosen (the forest), a bear was dragged onto the screen, positioned, resized and then locked into place, before a box was drawn on screen and positioned to allow children to write inside the box to explain the scene that had been created.
I'm really pleased to see TA's making such great use of the smartboard resources, and hope that the class teachers are using it just as well.
