A year ago I took the SMART Certified Teacher Challenge. I had heard about the course through the SEE Summit and thought what a great way to get certified at a much cheaper price!
The title of the course was accurate in that it truly was a challenge for me. There were many things about SMART Notebook I realized I didn't know as well as I thought and being able to review both the SMART Notebook Training 1 and 2 material I learned a great deal about SMART Notebook and felt that I grew a lot in my ability to effectively use the software.
I did not successfully pass the challenge and was very disappointed, but I did realize that in training other teachers having more step-by-step narration was helpful and I was doing enough of that in my presentation to other teachers. Being able to see myself on video teaching other teachers was also a very valuable experience. However, I sure wish I had the opportunity to submit the video twice.
