Reviewer Comments:
- This is a collection of templates (17 in all) to help students visualize and organize information for use with your SmartBoard. This is a wonderful toolbox for teachers who use SmartBoard in their daily classroom routine or as a reference for teachers new to the profession. This collection of graphic organizers and templates includes: K-W-L charts, vocabulary charts, a timeline, concept maps, blackline maps, a weekly schedule, article review (including guiding questions), and more. Ideal for visual and EL learners, this collection can be used to model expectations for work, for students to use in presentations, and for managing paperwork. Each time a template is modified it can be saved as a separate file. Also, the documents can be sent to students (and their parents) as PDF files if they miss class and have access to email. This collection will help teachers and students alike over the course of the year. Take note, a few of the templates are specific to the author’s classroom (i.e vocabulary and quizzes).
