This is an activity that I created for another teacher to use in her classroom. I am the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teacher for South Milwaukee and Oak Creek. I rarely have the opportunity to use a Smartboard since I am always in several different schools everyday. I put this activity together for a teacher that I work with who just recently received a Smart Board in her classroom. This activity is for a second grade classroom. They are currently studying dinosaurs. The students that I service (Deaf or Hard of Hearing) have difficulties in the classroom when they are not able to see classroom presentations. The exciting thing about the Smart Board is that it enables a teacher to present information without needing to turn their back on the students. This activity is to be used as a review of vocabulary associated with the dinosaur unit. ======

In my position as the only Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teacher for two school districts I really do not have regular access to a Smart Board. My goal in this activity is to see if I would be able to find some resources (quickly) for a regular education teacher who recently acquired a Smart Board. This teacher uses the Smart Board as more of an overhead projector. Recently I was in the classroom (where I have a Deaf student) when the teacher was starting a science unit on Nutrition and the Digestive System. My goal was to 1) see if I could find Smart Board activities quickly for the purpose of this unit and 2) to see if the teacher and students would respond favorably to this support. I searched on Smart Board exchange and found an activities to support this unit. This lesson activity explores what makes up a healthy diet and our digestive system. //Subject: Science // Grade: 2 //Authored by: // [|Lauri Isaacs] [] I was able to find and download this resource within 5 minutes. The teacher was able to implement it immediately. I noted that my student in particular was able to access the information with less support from me because the teacher was able to face the class instead of turning her back on the students. The teacher felt very comfortable using the presentation.
