It is awesome to the A W E S O M E and every classroom should have one! Throw out the chalk and whiteboard markers! You can use it to do all sorts of crazy interactive math stuff like toss a penny, spin a spinner, and roll dice.
You can write on the board with your finger or with the special plasticy pens. It's a giant touchscreen. It's amazing. I think I like writing on it more than the kids!
I also found out today that I'm being recalled to my school, so I don't have to change schools next year! Which means more SMART board for me!

Yeah Jill!! I'm glad you are being recalled to your school. I know that C and C love the smart board at our school. Have fun next week with your smart board!!!
ReplyDeleteHey that looks like fun. Wish I had a board of education to buy me one :)
ReplyDeleteWe had a smartboard between the Mountain View and Toronto offices, but we just never found a reason to use them. They weren't accurate enough, and the software sort of sucked, so people just started using real whiteboards + webcams.
ReplyDeleteJoe, I'm guessing during a conference call you're not practicing your cursive writing or grade 4 math! For educational purposes it's been perfect!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that looks like a fantastic teaching tool. I, too, would probably be more excited to use it than the kids =)
