I had been acquainted with SMART boards for a while, but I had no idea how much they could do! I thought that they were simply interactive whiteboards/screens. I knew you could write on them virtually, show a powerpoint presentation, etc., but I had no idea that the boards come with independent software with interactive tools and games. (My most exciting discovery was the interactive compass tool - I was getting in touch with my inner math nerd.)
Per our class discussion, I'm still curious how a high school teacher can effectively utilize the SMART board without making their students feel like they took a trip back to kindergarten. Perhaps utilizing the SMART response technology would be the best approach. I'm excited to see what it's like to integrate the board into my classroom.
