SMART Board in the Classroom
SMART
Board technology provides an opportunity to truly make your
instruction more effective for your students. The SMART Board
and its related software is used with a computer and a projection
device.
The interactive
whiteboard feature of the SMART Board is its most basic use.
Learning how to use the SMART Board for mouse clicking and
writing with virtual pens is incredibly easy. SMART Notebook
software is used to capture whiteboard notes and build interactive
lessons. SMART Tools are also available for playing videos
or recording and playing back lessons.
SMART
Board activities, lessons and SMART notebooks (presentation
application) are used at various educational levels worldwide.
Many educational web sites have SMART Board ideas and resources
archived and available to be shared. These sites are explored
during the SMART Board professional development.
The basic
interactive features of the SMART Board can be learned in
a few hours. To truly be comfortable integrating all the features
will take more time and practice. Development of a classroom
unit is an excellent way to learn the basics, explore learning
opportunities, and, find and develop lessons.
