The SMARTBoard is fantastic for purposes of doing a whole-class exploding moment in preparation for a narrative. Simply start with: The woman trudged up the stairs...and have each student add to it via a SMARTBoard pen or directly from the keybord. It is quite amusing to get a short narrative done this way working on all elements of writing.

For anyone really--it's wonderful to greet your students with a Happy Day! and Smiley Face using the pens to draw and then capture it with the camera.

Another wonderful idea to use the board with is a technology tool called voicethread. URL: [|www.voicethread.com/share/343235]. It is very interactive and engaging for all.
