Here's another website I like that is searchable by content area and grade.
A template is a background slide. You can't manipulate the objects in the template, but you can add text to it using a text box. The URL below lists an excellent website with SmartBoard templates organized by grade and subject.
Enjoy!

Go into the SmartBoard notebook and open the gallery on the side tab. Look just under "Essentials for Educators". There is a link called "Online Resources". This link connects you to websites that have ready-made lessons that utilize the SmartBoard.
Go exploring!
