Remote access for SMART Board lessons

Here's an exciting way to share your SMART Notebook, PDF or powerpoint lessons with your students in the event of school closure or absence.  Lumio is the cloud-based solution provided by SMART with hybrid and remote learning in mind.  I would recommend using SMART Notebook software to build the lesson and then import it into Lumio.  Lumio is found by going to: https://suite.smarttech-prod.com/login.  Sign into Lumio with your Google (@sd28.org) account.

Here's an introductory video that I put together on getting started with Lumio, and importing your Notebook content.  Notice the ability to add Notebook, PDF, Powerpoint or Google slides content into your Lumio slidedeck.  Do so by +Adding Activities and selecting the "import resource" option:

Here are the steps to prepare your lesson:

1. Import the resource to your lumio library:

2.  Add new pages (Game-based activity, graphic organizer or manipulative, YouTube content) to the lesson from the + icon while editing the lesson:

You may recall the unfortunate loss of Adobe flash content with SMART Notebook.  Some of this interactive content is coming back!  The PhET Interactive solutions is a very new feature with intereactive STEM content.  Check it out for its content relating to math (e.g., fractions, multiplication, base 10), physics and chemistry!

The Game-based solutions walks you through a step-by-step wizard to create formative assessment activities for students to work on: 

3. Once you've finished editing the lesson, decide which pages will be "individual" or "group" activity pages for students to annotate - click on the "wand" to get these options:

4. Then, adjust the pacing to lock down what pages they can view at a time ("teacher") or give students the flexibility to keep going through all the lesson pages ("student").  The lesson can be shared to students (via Google Classroom) or live by sharing the class code with your students.  The students will go to https://hellosmart.com/, join as "Guest" and type in the code in the same way as joining a "Kahoot" game.

All SD28 educators have "basic" access to SMART Notebook and Lumio (with up to 50 MB cloud storage space) however there is a "premium" license if you wish to have unlimited Lumio storage space.  Here is the survey that needs to be completed to request premium licensing: http://tiny.cc/ljmxtz
