The following compilation of videos are to help you get started with using a Promethean board and the ActivInspire software.
The links below are great for giving the overall picture of what energy transformations are in a general sense. Useful for definitions and examples of the different forms of energy as well as providing examples. The Smart Exchange lesson is interactive of course.
You can also explore ExploreLearning Gizmo's. This is fantastic with a Smartboard as it is interactive and has assessment questions. Let me know what you think! Activity Builder is on Notebook Software 11 which most of us have by now and if not, go to myEHD and request for Software upgrade. It allows you to build simple drag and drop activities that can be used to reinforce vocabulary and concepts. The following video is easy to follow and shows you just how simple it is to build an activity! This teacher has a neatly laid out, easy to use site for smartboard lessons and files that you can easily use and save. What I have used are the graph paper backgrounds. Remember you can LOCK backgrounds and/or the shapes you draw on them so they don't move, while students work through problems on the smartboard.
Here is a link to the main site where you could spend hours going through the possibilities, however they do have a search system that filters grade level and topic. I have included both U.S. and Canadian sites. Some resources are paid, others are free. Once purchased though, they can generally be modified to suit your needs
