Leading the Way in Classroom Transformation

The article that I read was all about how teachers around the world that use SMART products actually help them transform learning. Teachers around the world believe that not only does the white board make it easy to create extraordinary moments but, it helps students succeed. In this article it explained about why educators should choose SMART products. Since they have invented the interactive whiteboards about 20 years ago they have grown into a company over 1,300 staff members. SMART believes that their interactive whiteboards are very helpful in engaging your students by making their learning more interesting. At Bristol-Plymouth every classroom has a SMART board and they are actually easier to learn from than just regular white boards. I agree with this article that the SMART boards help engage students in their work. SMART has many other products that will help teachers not only just teach to a big group but they even have products that help them teach students individually. SMART boards also help students be more excited in going up to the board and trying to answer a problem.

I don't feel that the SMART boards are any different educationally than a regular white board. I don't see the educational step.

I agree with you completely i think that this is a big step for teachers to help teach and help kids learn, I want one in my room!

Curtis said...

Great Job! Now what other products are provided by SMART? :o

Felkey said...

SMART boards are very useful because they allow everyone to see what's going on with the big screen.

What kind of interactive programs co-inside with the SMART program?

I agree with Amelia, this technology is extremely useful to instructors with many students. It definitely appeals to kids and helps them actually want to learn instead of being forced to read out of a book. I hope the company keeps inventing creative technology for students to enjoy!

i feel like a smart just makes a class room look better, it's nothing that actually has helped me pay attention in class. Mr. Mellow uses it everyday and I can honestly say I haven't learned anything from him or his class

Good job with the presentation. Smart boards are nifty little boards to write on, and are pretty useful in the classroom.
