Smart
Notebook is a very valuable tool, with a wealth of information and activities
for students of all ages. I plan to use this website to help me plan and tweak
my future lesson plans. I have used sites that are more user-friendly, but this
site is very navigable and manageable with a little practice. Even the most
technologically-challenged user should be able to successfully use this
website.
I found a lesson plain about the Indians
of the Great Plains. I really like the way the lesson is set up, including the
overall flow of events and activities. My lesson covers the Lakota Sioux of the
Great Plains as does the lesson on the website. The information is accurate and
shown in a sensible way.
The lesson is also very interactive to
help stimulate and engage the students. However, I would like to see a word
bank provided on the fill-in-the-blanks slides. The lesson connects well with
the learning outcomes I have cited in my own lesson plan. The students can
easily navigate the lesson and learn valuable information about the Plains
Indians, including daily life and responsibilities. This site is a welcome
addition to my teaching toolbox.
I agree that a word bank would have been helpful. My lesson plan covers the events of Westard Expansion, and some of the names and places are hard to both spell and pronounce. Thanks for sharing!
