Smartboard and Teaching

The Smartboard is such a great tool for teaching. I really enjoyed seeing all of the presentations in class tonight. There are so many different things you can do with it. You can play games, write on it, search the web on it... and the greatest thing about it is that you can do it all on such a grand scale and not have to be holed up behind a computer monitor. Kids can come up and touch it. You can be describing something up front and write a little note next to it. It's a great way to get kids involved in their learning, rather than just watching you play around with stuff up front.
