Hi Blue Earth Area Elementary and Middle School Teachers, Here are a few follow-up items from our time together:

Dave - After setting up your picture randomizer - drag it into My Content and it will save as an object there for future use.

Deb - I received an email from SMART Tech regarding how SMART Boards would integrate with visually impaired students. Here's the information that was sent: " Unfortunately there are not options or features available to help a visually impaired student use the SMART Board. However, the SMART Board itself acts as a monitor in the entire setup so if there is anything available on your computer to help someone that is visually impaired (such as a magnifying glass) than you can have them use the computer to write on the SMART Board or read off the SMART Board. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope that in there will be more options for this type of scenario in the near future. Ryan with Technical Support Deb - You can go to the on-screen keyboard, choose Settings and pick Speech so the student can hear words spelled out, but that's not a good solution. Kate - Here are some web sites with country maps: [|Owl and Mouse] [|Naitonal Geographic Xpeditions] [|Online Geography Games] [|World Atlas.com] Also, try a country search in the Lesson Activities area on the SMART Tech website. In doing a quick search for Africa, I found a great map.
