Be Smart; Use a Smartboard
Smartboards are a great tool in any classroom. I remember using them throughout elementary school, all the way until high school. Basically, a Smartboard is an interactive, electronic chalk board; almost like a touch screen PC in the front of a classroom. It can act as a whiteboard, projector, or computer. It can be very useful in the classroom, helping students to visualize lessons, participate regularly, and ultimately more thoroughly understand rough topics. I would use a Smartboard for any types of lessons – demonstrating how to work through math problems, showing students maps of the world during geography, and allowing students to play games that will help with the advancement of their education. The Smartboard is large and therefore visible for students anywhere in the classroom. It encourages more student participation – they will hopefully want to go in front of the class and use the Smartboard themselves.
