Why do teachers use a SMART Board?
What are the advantages of a board?
Does it really make a difference?
These and many other questions are asked over and over again by teachers who are encouraged to use an interactive whiteboard in their classrooms. As with any new technology, there is always hesitation, resistance and much anxiety when teachers are asked to try or use something new in their classrooms. The purpose of this website is to provide useful information and many "How to"s that can help reduce or eliminate the fears that may come with using a SMART Board in the classroom.
Teachers everywhere are excited about how the whiteboards are changing their classrooms and surprised at how easy they are to use. Take some time to read what other teachers are saying about the boards and find some reasons why you should give this a try.
