872 free Notebook files

  Download SMART Technologies 22 new FREE Notebook files, bringing this curriculum collection total to 872.  New titles released for the National Educational Computing Convention include several different titles in English, earth science, mathematics and social studies.  Because many teachers are constantly seeking new ways to present information in Notebook, these files are always worth studying.  In VowelsUS, you can zoom the page to show both the Notebook file AND the Gallery, to search through the Science/Animals gallery to find, then drag/drop and resize animals beginning in different vowels.
  Several math Notebook files could be easily customized to create expanded review sessions.  Here you can use the Pointer tool to click on a measurement to unlock and modify the value.  The next step that I would take is to only put one volumetric shape on a page, and then link the page to the Senteo response system, so all the students in the class could better interact with this lesson (the lesson didn't do that... I'd try to modify it to meet my needs).  The MeanMedianModeUS Notebook file could also be adapted in the same way.
   NetsUS demonstrated an interesting answer reveal technique, with the use of drag tabs that are placed along the edge of the Notebook page and then dragged outward to reveal an answer.  VolcanosUS showed use of a magnifying glass that demonstrated using text matching background colors and layering to reveal answers.  InsulationUS showed an interesting labeling technique, where a house was shown on the screen, with a pull tab of a labeled house with a transparent center.
  Most of these new Notebook files also incorporate Flash animations, which we haven't yet figured out how to modify to suit our needs.  The English files incorporate hyperlinks, allowing you to access poetry or other learning content from the Internet.
