SmartBoards! I have one in my room, just this year. I've been learning bit by bit how to use it effectively. I don't just want it to be a glorified projetor. PD was not given along with the SmartBoard, so every time someone talks about SmartBoards (even today Jean!) I find I learn something new - a new tool, a new trick. Today on the Smart Learning site, I found a cute balloon pop morning attendance Notebook file that I will use every day.
The only problem with Smartboards is that they are outdated as soon as you get one. To make it a true interactive tool, more than one student needs to be able to use it at once which of course mine doesn't allow. Also, if there are any updates to the software, I cannot update my software on my own, I need school board permission which means I am already far behind what is out there.
I soldier on.
