A smartboard can completely change the atmosphere and teacher/student interactions. Passivity becomes activity, boredom becomes curiosity; all become learners.

This is very clever. Would use this wisher on my Smartboards as a way to brainstorm, perhaps as a Wonder Wall

I have been teaching Math for 20 years. SMART Boards are a great motivator for both students and teachers. Wouldn't want to teach without it.

Joy says

SMART board changes teaching by reminding teachers that all lessons should be completely student centered.

Avital says

It is the best teaching tool out there, allowing us teachers to show, demmonstrate, be visual, auditory, reach all kinds of learners and connect to the world.

The *best* thing about SMART Boards is that they truly give students a way to "touch their learning". Teacher task is to get kids up to the board OFTEN!

Jeff says

The Notebook 10 software has some great learning tools.

JDeyenberg says

The smartboard is an interactive, exciting, challenging doorway to the rest of the world

A great way to get kids with severe disabilities involved in active group learning. Combined with Boardmaker Plus it is phenomenal!!!!

Having a SMART Board increases student engagment and as a result, increases student acheivement.

pdubose says

The shift of focus from "What can I show them?" to "What can the students show me?"

Greg says

Using SMART Board Technology/Notebook you are only limited by your ability to create

Becky A says

This is a great way to teach cooperative play. Partner up two aggressive kids and watch what happens. Mine figured out to use “Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot”.

enessman says

My kids are actively engaged and excited about learning and creating with Notebook 10. I can easily integrate a variety of media into my lessons.

Spalmberg says

Not only do I have interactive lessons for students in my class...I recently recorded myself teaching for students on weeklong exchange trips.

Becky says

Getting a SMART Board in my classroom has been the biggest change in teaching strategies in my 30 years as a HS Math teacher!

It's just too much fun! Too bad our kids aren't as impressed with it as us older folk are! :) Makes us teachers look really SMART!

a potsick says

The kids can download and use notebook software at home. They make my lessons and review games for me! Not to mention all the teacher 2 teacher sharing!

gibsonj says

It operates in the way that kids today think!

The most perfect tool for teaching a multisensory program! Love my SMART Board.

An amazing tool for teachers to engage their students and to use best practices in all subject areas. Excellent for sharing and learning from others.
