Smartboard

So today, we are starting to talk about the smarboard in EDU350 I love the smartboard! i've seen it used in a classroom, in high school. It is really cool. It allows you to write on the board, and you are able to transform the writting into text. which is really cool so that way any student can write on the board, and you can transofrm the writting text, so it is more easily read by all the students. Another thing i relally like is being able to control the slide show from the board and you don't have to relay on a cliker ( whose batteries may die). or having to keep running over to a mouse to change a slide. you also can use your and to eraser or draw as long as there apporpriate eraser or marker is off of the tray. I am really excited to learn more about the software, using the smartboard, and more of what the software that comes with the program can do.

  1. I am so excited about smartboard. I think it is a great tool to use in the classroom especially to get the students involved. I believe having involved in the classroom will give the students more knowledge to succeed and want to learn. I can't wait to Wednesday to play around with the smartboard to better my knowledge so I can use it in the future.

  2. I agree that the use of the Smartboard will help to make our lives easier in lesson planning, etc. I also believe that the use of this technology can and will develop a greater love of learning and the learning process for many students who may not have access to technology at home (yes there are still a few).
    In additiion, Smartboards can often be used for differentiated learning and as assistive technology for those with low vision and blindness and for those lacking fine motor skills......
