Smart Boards

Smartboards have created a virtual learning playground for educators. The technology has and will continue to transform the classroom. The formats that can be used arn't endless but pretty close to it. Students can be granted the stimulus in a multitude of ways to learn more effectively. With the tech generation - it is so important to relate to them in their language. Smartboards allow teachers to do just that.
Once a teacher has mastered the smartboard and/or created lessons, the time spent creating lessons will be time well spent.
I plan on absolutely using smartboards in my lessons. I will not "overuse" the smartboard in an effort to keep the students engaged in it when I do use it. Coupled with a variety of other teaching techniques, students can be intriqued in so many ways.
I am sure that the technology associated with the smartboards will continue to grow and we have yet to see its full potential. The strategies that can be used with them now are impressive enough.
A teacher not familiarizing themselves with the capabilities is doing themselves and their students an injustice.
