Day 23 4.13.10

Today in class we started learning about the wonders of smart board because they are becoming more common in schools. My school however did not have smart boards... I don't think they were around 'cause I graduate in 2004. In the article "Interactive Whiteboards and Learning: A Review of Classroom Case Studies
and Research Literature."
The article Observations from the United States
"Does the use of an interactive whiteboard as an instructional tool affect student engagement? The unequivocal answer, based on the results of both the surveys and
questionnaires, is yes. The results of the survey indicate that interactive whiteboards can be used in the classroom to increase student engagement during the
learning process" (Beeland 2002). This quote explains why smart boards would be worth the investment. The smart board will encourage students to work together in groups or teams. This will help students learn things more creativity. Smarts boards will also keep the students more interested because technology is so commonly used today. The teacher can as well be more interactive with it instead of sitting behind a computer, they can make there lessons more interesting.
