NATE resources for SMART interactive whiteboards

These resources were created by NATE for Steljes, the UK distributors for SMART Boards. These activities can work with or without an interactive whiteboard, though they are designed to make use of the potential the board offers.

Each lesson idea is outlined on a sheet designed to be printed out (a PDF file) to guide you through delivering the content and a SMART Notebook software file. If your school has a SMART board, you can download the SMART Board software to to prepare lessons on your own computer (see the Support section of the SMART site).
