Interactive white boards such as the SMART Board are terrific teaching and learning tools. Above all else, the primary reason I find the SMART Board great is because it makes technology tactile. When you can use your hands to control, create and learn with a computer, the additional sensory input is extremely powerful.
Here are some resources to support using SMART Boards in the classroom.
At the Smarttech site:
- SMART Lesson Activites - these are Notebook lesson files created by other teachers or by SMART employees
- Online Classroom Resourcres - websites recommend by SMART for use due to the interactive nature of the site
- Educator Resources - other SMART recommended software and resources
