Classroom Freebies
This site has some very nice resources including SMART Notebook files.
Check it out at: http://www.classroomfreebies.com/
EDCompass blog reports that the SMART Exchange content is now aligned to Common Core Standards. Teachers can find the Common Core Standards-correlated lessons on the SMART Exchange under the Standards-Correlated Lessons search. The search results generate a list of the standards by subject and grade level and a list of corresponding SMART lesson resources available. Using the same Standards-Correlated Lessons search, those in states that have not adopted the new standards will still be able to find regional standards-correlated content.
