Mini Movies for SMART Board - http://www.misterteacher.com/minimovies/minimovies.html
What is a SmartBoard mini-movie? A SmartBoard mini-movie is a simple (most involve only a click of the mouse), interactive animation that teachers can download and add to their galleries. From there, the movies can be inserted into their SMART Notebook presentations. Each mini-movie is a dynamic Flash file, similar to the same files that are already included in SMART Notebook's resources.
How can mini-movies improve my SMARTBoard activities and lessons? Use mini-movies to make subjects like geometry and motion come alive. Capture the attention of learners by using animation to teach standards-based concepts. Draw on the movies and click the buttons to give students instant feedback!
