SMART Notebook

Creating interactive activities by myself was a great experience. I chose SMART Notebook to design three interactive activities for the reading standard of second grade, which is expanding vocabulary by using prefixes and suffixes. I chose the magic tube as the first activity. Students will build the words through the formula and in a fun way. In the second activity, they will learn that prefixes and suffixes have meanings. I made this activity more interesting by using one of the encouragement tools, which is clapping. In the third activity, students will categorize the words in a way that is like the graphic organizer. I added timing to make it exciting. When designing the activities, I followed the instructions in the video accompanying this assignment. Therefore, I also put instructions for students to follow in all activities. I made sure to lock everything in the activities so that the students could perform them easily and without problems.  

            I will use these activities for assessments at the beginning, middle, and end of the lesson. I designed the activities to be fully appropriate to the learning standard and students' educational level. I added some tools to make them interactive with the addition of movement and sound. I also chose the colors carefully to be comfortable to the eye. I believe in the importance of incorporating the SMART Notebook into my classroom because of its many features. These interactive activities grab the attention of the students. In addition, it will enable them to practice learning with their senses because it is an auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic educational tool.
