SMART Board

The Smart Board operates as part of a system that includes an interactive whiteboard, a computer, a projector and whiteboard software. The components are connected wirelessly or through a USB or serial cables. A projector connected to the computer displays the desktop image on the interactive whiteboard. The whiteboard accepts touch input from a finger, pen or other solid object. 

The Smart Board is great for teachers because it allows them to integrate videos, images, and websites into their lessons. Today, more and more schools are using Smart Boards as a tool to engage learners in a compelling an interactive way.

In class, we designed lesson plans that we could use on a Smart Board. 

After working a bit with the Smart Board I personally believe it is a beneficial tool for the classroom. There are so many different things you can do with it. The learning possibilities are endless!
