Primary SMARTBoard Ideas & Resources: ESU#3 Handout on Getting Started in K-3: [|K-3 Starter.pdf]

SMARTBoards & Primary Students: >>
 * **Fine Motor Skills **
 * if students have problems with fine motor skills, have them try using a ten[[image:pointer.jpg width="130" height="130" align="right"]]nis ball when writing on the board
 * a hand pointer from Learning Resources ($3.99) also works well
 * **Board Height **
 * portable boards can be lowered to the correct height for students, adjustments are made on the back of the board stand
 * mounted boards may require a "step" or "box" for students if they are mounted at traditional board height for teacher use--consider safety on steps and boxes.
