YouTube, Smart Notebook, and TPT

I recently found an interview with Laurel Burch on YouTube. I decided that I wanted to be able to present it to my students within the Smart Notebook that I already had created about Laurel Burch. After a couple days of frustration and many online searches about how to embed a YouTube video in Smart Notebook, I found this blog post. Finally, one that worked! If you have also been curious about embeding YouTube videos in a Smart Notebook file, I would suggest that blog post.

Also, have you heard of Teachers Pay Teachers? It is a great web site for teachers to find new curriculum and share thier ideas with other teachers. As it sounds, some of the items are for sale and some are free. Check it out!

Must be getting close to the beginning of the school year. Looking for projects? Will you please post the Laural Burch YouTube site? You seem to be working a bunch on the smartboard stuff. I will keep posted to see what else you are learning? Keep blog'n, missed your updates this summer. Hope you had a wonderful break.

I was actually tweeking an old PowerPoint and ended up putting it into SMART Notebook. It was easier with the video. I put the SMART Notebook on my TPT site and wanted it to be really good before posting it.

Thanks for the link - I have been a huge Laurel Burch fan for years. Does anyone have any really good Laurel Burch lessons that they've used?

I have a third grade lesson that I love. You can find it by clicking the "Artist: Laurel Burch" label on the right of the screen. It uses her Fantastic Felines, oil & chalk pastels, and guided drawing. The kids really enjoy it, and they all turn out great.

Thanks for directing me to your lesson. I don't know why I didn't notice it myself. I appreciate the thoroughness of your instructions and will definitely plan to do this lesson this year!
