SMART Boards

A SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard, designed for engaging students and delivering unique presentations. As an instructor, you no longer have to stand behind the teacher machine to present. Simply walk up to the board and touch the screen. Your finger, or the pens provided, will act as your computer mouse, allowing you to visit websites, scroll through PowerPoint slides, and much more.
The SMART Board is automatically connected to the teacher machine, so any interaction you make will occur on the computer synchronously. Using the SMART Board can lead to more interactive lectures and presentations. Have your students come up during a lesson and solve a problem. Or write down class notes and export them to Moodle for later viewing. Theses are just a small handful of possibilities when using this technology.
