**Description of Session:**
An effective teacher has powerful engaging lesson plans. Are your lesson plans still in Word or on paper? By utilizing the power of the SMART Notebook software, teachers have the ability to create interactive lesson plans that engage students with the standards and everyday occurrences of the classroom. Not lessons - lesson plans! Why create lesson plans that are written for the wrong audience. My lesson plans are student focused, interactive, and actually become apart of the everyday routine in the classroom. This helps lower discipline interruptions, increases the student's focus, and allows for every student to be challenged to achieve their greatest potential.

Basically, the whole point is to learn how the SMART Notebook file can be utilized as a lesson planner for your week. I teach 8th grade MATH and ENGLISH. Yes, I know. I have your pitty - and I thank you for that. With that, since I use the SB all the time, by using the notebook program to organize ALL of my week for BOTH of those crazy classes, it allows me to allow my students to be a part of the planning process and helps me maintain my interactive lesson plans on an hourly account.

I have presented here for now 4 years on this same exact subject. Each year I imrpove my lesson planner and this year is no different. Also, I have had people turned away at my door each year, so if you really really want to come, I will see you at 8:15!

I have fun teaching and my students have fun learning. Sure, it is a standards based classroom and sure, we are focused in what we do. That doesn't mean you can't have fun. That doesn't mean you can't have a TON of interaction. It all starts with your lesson planning. Get rid of Word. Get rid of your pencil. **Attend this session and someone there will have a chance to win a free car!!!**
