Fun With the Smart Slate

Today we used the Smart Slate to play a game of "BACON" after we finished our Math MEAP.  Bacon is a dice game, and I had recently found some cool interactive dice in the 'Statistics and Probability' folder under 'Math' in the Gallery.  I used the line tool to create our score sheet, and I had planned on using the on-screen keyboard to enter scores, but when I was very far away from the screen it was too hard to see the teeny, tiny numbers on the keyboard (I have an eye doctor's appointment next Tuesday!).  The kids had a ball clicking on the dice to make them "roll," although occasionally one of the students would accidently click on one of the lines of the score sheet and move it somewhere else.  I think I noticed a way to lock things in place; I'll have to check into that before our next game of BACON.
