Smartboards

Electronic white boards, also known as Smartboards, are an amazing tool for teachers to have in the classroom. The boards look very similar to normal white boards, but come packed with accessories to make teaching interactive and interesting. Smartboards can display information and they also allow teachers to save what they have written or drawn and send it to students' computers. They allow you to navigate computer files and Web sites and to interact with online information with a touch of the finger. Users can use a finger or a special electronic "marker" to interact with the information displayed on the screen.
Smartboards assist in lesson planning, support diverse learning styles, and provide a needed tool for graphic representation in math, science, and art classes. Most importantly, they engage students, particularly when the learning is student-driven.
