Smart Boards Leave Chalk in the Dust!

Smart Boards Leave Chalk in the Dust. I was soo intrigued by the Year 5 class that i am currently doing practical with having a smart board within the class, used regularly by their teacher that i thought id do some independent investigation lol.

I came across this article online from The Australian that generally pointed out the great reception that ‘The Smart Board’ has had within classrooms today, though that they are costly. But! in my opinion money should not be an issue when we are extending the knowledge and understanding of young people today through the use of this technology. I absoloutely loved the following quote and it basically reiterates my point of view, “The boards allow teachers to use educational software and access the internet while engaging the entire class, rather than having students using individual computers”.

I believe that the Smart Board is going to revolutionise classrooms around Australia allowing for more intuitive skills to plant themselves within younger generations.

Smart Boards are a fantastic idea. Bringing network connectivity/software directly into the classroom in such an efficient way is something that has been needed in schools for quite a while.

Lets just hope that not too many people write all over them in marker pen!
