SmartBoard

The use of a SmartBoard in a classroom is incredible. I hope that a day comes where all schools will have access to one. I thought that they were going to be nothing but an expensive way to use powerpoint. In a way it is, but there is so much more. SmartBoards allow students to have an interactive lecture time with their teacher. Whether the notes are on a powerpoint, a piece of paper, or whatever else the teacher chooses to use, the students can come up to the board and work directly on the page. The students love using the SmartBoard so they love to participate in class. Their participation means they are paying attention and getting the most out of their education. I do not know what their price is, but I know SmartBoards are not cheap. I think communities should try to raise the money to have computers and a Smartboard in classrooms so that the students will enjoy learning more, therefore learn more.
