A number of resources collected for those who are interested in expanding their knowledge and use of interactive whiteboards. This is not necessarily limited to using just SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboards, - other than the training on the software specific to the SMART brand - but is also a collection of interactive resources from the web.

Good places to look for stuff:

- The WhiteBoard Blog

- Becky Rank’s Portaportal: Be Smart

- My Delicious bookmarks

- SMART Tech website: Support

- SMART Tech website: Educator Resources

- MISTM: Math Interactive Resources

One of the applications you will find on your MLTI computer is NoteShare - an application that allows to collaborate, share, and keep organized for your projects.

During the 2 hour training we’ll go over the features and functions of NoteShare, and will get you started with your own notebooks, files, etc.

An MLTI NoteShare Participant NoteBook will be shared with a wealth of resources, samples and so on, in it.
