You can definitely use smart boards for word sorts. I would start by using Notebook to set up a template and mix up the set of words, so the students would just drag the word under one of the headings. You can also have students think of words that would fit in the sort and write them on the smart board.
I know a kindergarten teacher that uses a smart board for word sorts and she adds pictures with the words she uses. The students love using smart board and it?s something that you can set up way ahead of time. Isabella Quoting Ljackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I am wondering about smart board progrramming.
