Fellow SMARTboard lovers, have you tried koosh ball activities yet? My students adore them! Who wouldn't love the chance to throw something around the classroom - ahem, throw something around the classroom WITH permission! Students throw a koosh ball (I get mine at the dollar store), or a bean bag, or a beanie baby (you get the point - basically anything smaller than a shoe) at the SMARTboard to hit a target. The target brings them to a page with a question on it. After students have answered the question, click on the image at the bottom of the page to return to the home page.
Sidenote: the first time my principal saw the kids engaged in a koosh ball activity, she almost had a heart attack ... It took a lot to convince her that the board would be OK - I even had to show her I got the idea from smarttech posts on teachertube.
