Assignment 2 Follow-Up

From the presentations, I learned the importance of being familiar with the operations of the interactive board. If you do not know how to use the boards fluently, then they can easily get in the way of teaching. However, I learned that if a teacher can learn to maneuver the interactive board, it is a wonderful tool to use in the classroom to stimulate minds and to inspire thinking. I especially liked the feature of the board where you can turn hand-writing into font. This is really neat because students can come up to the board and write, but then it can be neatly organized into text. Several students used this feature and it was very helpful! I also like the interactive games from the created SMART Board lessons. The games will certainly help with students' understanding of the topic while having fun at the same time. The drag and drop feature on the SMART Board is actually pretty simple. There is so much to learn about the interactive boards. The list seems endless; however what I learned was very helpful, and I am excited to incorporate these new features of the SMART Board into my lesson plans.
