What It Does:
The
SMARTboard is an interactive whiteboard, much like a
dry erase board, but, in this case, it’s connected to a laptop that houses some
pretty sophisticated educational software that allows the teacher or student to
access many, many templates to illustrate lessons. It is also a combination DVD player/screen,
and when connected to the Internet, can provide some very dynamic lessons. Students will use this teaching/learning tool
to show what they have learned in their reports. Teachers will be able to illustrate in a very
entertaining sort of way, concepts and processes that were otherwise, pretty
“dry” to present. Already we have seen
students’ attention to the lesson increase 100%!!!
Test Before Committing:
