Introduction

• What is a Smart Board?• What sets it apart from a traditional white

board?• What are some ways that I can use it to

help my students?

Clearly we need a BIGGER block S here, too bad we don’t have a lot of room. :)

What is a Smart Board?

• Minimally defined, it is a whiteboard that is attached to a computer.

• Content is added to the board via touch sensors within the screen.

• The computer senses the pressure and reacts by telling sending a signal to display or do a particular thing.

Why is a Smart Board Different?

• Students think its fun!• Save a copy of

whatever is written.• Interact with other

applications.• Reorganize ideas

without having to erase.Add image of me using
