[|Wordle] use this site during the first week of school. Have students create “Wordles” about themselves and create a “Wordle” bulletin board introducing your students (and yourself). Or use Worlde for a whole-class positive statement as shown in [|this example.] Remember that the most frequently appearing words will appear larger so plan accordingly.

**FACS**
The Smart board is a terrific tool in FACS classrooms because it allows for typically boring lessons to become interactive. For example, assembling a family tree becomes a hands-on class project when previously it was an individual task most students found tedious. In cooking lab classrooms, students can view a recipe and make their own modifications to it (such as flavors or nutrition value) on the board. The teacher then saves the recipes for future use. Most importantly, getting to use the Smartboard easily engages the students and that is important in every content area.

It is also comes in handy for FAC's when we are teaching world foods. Because there is a map that you can use to show the country and the flag of each country. This way we can integrate social studies in our classroom. As a fac's teacher we can also use this for showing more pictures of foods, houses and different topics for child development. And then we can use the writing tools to outline what we need to do to change these foods or point out a certain part in housing.

The notebook software really allows for interactive learning. I used it in my Block III and the students enjoyed the lecture. I had a blank color wheel where the students could come up and drag the different color sections into the correct places as well as make different color harmonies. It was definitely good to get the students involved.

A third lesson that integrates the smart board is designing a home layout and arranging furniture in the home using design images from the gallery. Students could use a grid as the background and create a floor plan, without having to erase lines every time they make a mistake. Also great websites for this are [|www.floorplanner.com] and [|www.armstrong.com/flooring/desin-tools.html]. The students can also draw lines to illustrate traffic patterns and can highlight spaces to identify the different zones such as the private, social and work zones.

Another great way to use the smart board in a FACS class is to have a picture of the sewing machine on the smart board. Then you could have the students come up and label the different parts of the sewing machine. This could be a great tool for review so when they have to take the test over the parts of the sewing machine.
