"One of my all-time favourite websites for use on a SMART Board -- Mister Teacher.
Long story short, this site is full of fantastic mini-movies for exploration and visual
reinforcement of key concepts in Math and Science. These mini movies (created by a member of my Twitter PLN - @jtubbs),
are written as .swf files meaning...wait for it...that they can be downloaded and EMBEDDED within SMART Notebook! Woot woot!...What
a great website full of supplementary activities for students to explore as well as enhancing the teacher led portion of your
lessons."
"I used a math mini-movie to demonstrate slides, flips, and reflections.
This was the most difficult concept to show students. The mini-movie made
it quick and easy. No more cutting out shapes and twisting around. Just
click and teach!"

"I use Whiteboard mini-movies to give my students a visual model for
the concepts I am teachng that day. The use of the interactive board allows
students to 'see' the math."

"I use the mini-movies with my smartboard to illustrate concepts with
my special needs students. For many of them, a picture is worth a thousand
words. It uses the visual modality and helps with the retention of concepts."

"I use them to introduce or review a skill...I love the mini-movies."

"I teach third grade and these mini movies are great for explaining
concepts to students. I have been looking for ways to be more effective
with the smartboard and this will help a lot. Students DON'T know what
a line, angle, etc. is. These mini-movies show it to them with no clutter."
