Session 3 <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">There are thousands of Notebook activities shared online via websites and the SMART Exchange. As you explore the availability of shared resources you will find many Notebook files that focus on Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and few that engage learners with Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #697f55; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif; text-decoration: none;">[|Click here for a Blooms Taxonomy Wheel.]

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">The Exchange also shared extra Gallery content. Search for additional gallery content that supports your instruction and add it to your Notebook gallery (it installs to the My Content folder of Notebook gallery). This week, find an example of each and modify the LOTS to make it a HOTS lesson. Submit to the week 3 forum links to the Smart Exchange files you found useful. The Notebook file that you turn HOT will be submitted for the week 5 discussion forum.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">At the basic level, a SMARTboard is just an interactive whiteboard and can be used as a board with virtual markers. As students engage with lessons that focus on HOTS, the features of the board becomes an integral part of the learning experience. Read the article: Whiteboards: A Modest Proposal and consider how your use of the SMARTboard and Notebook software has evolved overtime.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,Times,'Times New Roman',serif;">You should be proud of the work you have done in this course and it is time to share it with the world (or at least your SCPS colleagues). Post your HOTS Notebook lesson here with a short description of how you used it in your classroom. Make sure to visit the forum often during this week to gain ideas from and give thoughtful comments on other shared Notebook lessons.
