Great resource!
Thanks :)
I couldn't download the smartboard notebook. wish that was in PowerPoint
Great
Great Product!
The smartboard lesson is not included with the download and its supposed to be.
Jennifer, I am sorry that you have had trouble with the download. I just downloaded the lesson myself and the SMART Notebook lesson was there. The entire lesson downloads as a ZIP file that must be "unzipped" to view all of the files. If you would like, I can email you the lesson if you would like to email me at josh.church@ashe.k12.nc.us. Sorry again.
Great resource
time consuming but worth it!
