by Michaela Seeman, K-4 Librarian and JCE Collaborative Teacher During the Fall Tech Academy, I attended the session on SMART Learning Suite Online. At this session, I learned about this amazing tool that can be used many different ways. It’s an easy, interactive way to teach or assess. You can create a collaborative work space, share handouts that students can individually respond to, and many more activities. You can build a small activity or your entire lesson within this tool, and you have the option of making it teacher-paced or student-paced. A few of the activity and assessment options include:
While the website had a few technical hiccups as we were using it, I was very impressed with the level of student engagement and I loved being able to see what each student was thinking. I used this tool with elementary students, but I can easily see students labeling parts of a plant, putting historical events in order, or using the tool to review for an assessment. With all of the options for activities, responses, brainstorming, and game-based activities, I am very excited to explore this tool even more!

Engagement is so important - what a great way to encourage that with your students to teach important expectations and skills. Way to go!

Michaela, Thanks for the post. I have heard a lot about SMART Learning Suite Online in Facebook groups of teachers. I have watched teacher vlogs that use this tool. Your post has encouraged me to dig into this platform and see if it could work for my classroom. Thanks!

This sounds like very good tool to use for all grades to make learning fun and for them to interact. I think even as an adult I would have fun learning through this tool.
