SMART!

In Science class we have been frequently using the SMART Board.The Smart Board is an interactive white board.It enables you to display the screen of a computer using a projector. Then , you must align the SMART Board with the computer screen. You must do this because the SMART Board is basically a touch screen monitor. The SMART Board has been used to view slide shows, play educational games, view text documents, and demonstrate proper use of certain computer programs. The SMART Board has been a very useful tool in learning science in a fun yet effective way. SMART technologies have come out with plenty of educational and corporate solutions. One of SMART technologies' education resources is SMART Learning Marketplace. This is a collection of several--several meaning millions--learning resources. These resources include images, text documents, and more, all of which are professionally developed. As mentioned, SMART had also come out with corporate solutions, one of which is called Sympodium Interactive Pen Display. This allows you to write over slides with digital ink, save notes, access the Internet and project your work onto a larger screen.
