Here is my smartboard lesson plan!

http://www.galleryimage.com.au/Hold%20For%20Now/classroom_management_database.htm This is a Classroom Management Database that I found, at the website above you can download a free version to your computer. However, you need to have Microsoft Access 200, 2002 (XP), or 2003 is required to operate this database. There is also a version that you can download for 37.95 which is still inexpensive (but why pay when you can have the free version?) This database allows teachers to track everything from their students profile with contact information to assignments, and class schedules. I like the assignment section because it allows you to track the day you assigned to the day that it is due.

 * Alicia, I tried to comment on your edublog for your lesson plan twice but my computer/our server/power is having fits for some reason and my comments don't seem to be posting on anyone's--they seem to be in cyber land. Anywho, here is what I hope was my comment on your lesson plan:**

The great depression is a terrific lesson plan, I always enjoy learning about it. I teach a section on it in my contemporary economics class and it always is a great class, the students like to learn about depressions and recessions. Also, my grandmother grew up in the depression, some of her stories are just crazy, like they walked 3 miles to get bread. AMAZING. Your lesson plan is great blending old with new with the tie in to Katrina--you tube works wonders in a class, I swear by it. I also like your tie in to the vocabulary words throughout the lesson. I may borrow some of your depression picture ideas for my classes, to show them the real pictures of what it was like, that is great idea. This is a very good lesson plan and I think the students will get a lot out of it, thanks for sharing, nice work. Thanks, Alecha
