SMARTBoard

After Tuesday's class, I've come to appreciate the SMARTBoard even more. I thought I had discovered a lot of cool features, but seeing everyone else's presentations made me realize how much more I can learn. It also made me realize how much more I need to keep track of. For instance, on the last slide of my presentation, I was looking at the board wondering why there was a big magnifying glass at the bottom...the class had to remind me to use to the glass in order to illuminate the answers!

It's little glitches like that which make technology in a classroom a gamble, however, it also makes learning so much fun and that much more memorable. I think a SMARTBoard is an excellent way to get kids involved in the learning and eager to participate in classroom learning.
