Have you had any experience with a SMART Board in school? If so, what is your opinion on it?

Our school uses SMART Boards throughout the building, and any helpful feedback I could get would be appreciated!

I had a SmartBoard in my classroom and hope to have it again this year ( I am moving into a different room and it is supposed to come with me, but you know how that can be). It is integrated into all my lesson plans. Having an interactive board that everyone can use and see is fantastic! It does take some time to create lessons on the computer to use the SmartBoard, but then they are there to use over and over again. In my opinion, every classroom should have an interactive white board (regardless of the brand name).

Although the literature says that you can use it as a normal white board, be careful. If you don’t erase the dry-erase marker off at the end of the day, it can be difficult to get off and could leave “ghosting” requiring additional cleaning.

I also find that keeping the projector set up can be a problem with wires all over the place which increases the chance that the projector/computer could be pulled off the table if someone trips on the wires. We are supposed to be getting the projectors installed in the ceiling to avoid the wires being strewn everywhere.

Smart Boards are a great academic tool! Kids love using them, and once you get the hang of them, they’re even better! You can use them for a variety of functions, and if you incorporate them into your classroom procedure, it can help a lot more- for example, you can scan the homework paper and then kids can write in the answer nd explain how they got th answer on a seperate page.

Hope I helped!

My high scool had smartboards, and it was a great tool to help teachers incorporate all types of media into the classroom. I was especially great for student presentations that involved powerpoint or videos, alot easier than just a projector hooked to a laptop.
