What is a SMART Board?
by: Sundae Overturf & Stephanie Souder ==**Advantages ** ==
 * A SMART Board is a large touch controlled screen that works with a projector and a computer.
 * The projector projects the desktop image onto the interactive whiteboard
 * The touch sensitive whiteboard connects to your computer.
 * You can control applications directly, write notes, teach lessons, have students participate, and save your work.

 -motivates learners (grabs and maintains attention)
=== -provides easy accomodation for students with auditory or visual problems === === -gives students a chance to interact and participate in the lesson as it is being taught ===

 -expensive- not available for every classroom
=== -one must be careful not to leave their back side to those they are trying to teach while using a smart board === ===<span style="background-color: white; color: #000033; font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; line-height: 18pt; margin: 10pt 0in 0pt;">media type="youtube" key="0U05WeXPGlk?fs=1" height="385" width="640" ===

§ Increases the level of student engagement in learning activities § Aids in teaching difficult, abstract and complex ideas § Enables teacher to access multimedia resources § Allows students to demonstrate knowledge before they acquire effective writing skills § Boosts students’ self-esteem and teachers’ ability to assess learning § Engages students with special learning needs and often helps improve their behavior § Fosters a sense of community and creates a cooperative learning environment § Permits teachers to be more mobile during whole-class teaching § The size of the display screen assists in the education of visually impaired students while the addition of a classroom application system has been proven to benefit deaf and hearing impaired students § Environmentally friendly because SMART Boards reduce the amount of paper needed for copying worksheets and other printed materials <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Here are some quick facts: The SMART board interactive whiteboard was first introduced in 1991. Today, over 30 million students in more than 1.3 million classrooms currently use SMART products. SMART Board interactive whiteboards are installed in schools in every U.S. state and Canadian province. In 2009, SMART’s product category share for the interactive whiteboard market was 48.2 percent, according to Futuresource Consulting, a leading independent global research company that has tracked interactive whiteboard sales for more than nine years. Globally, SMART sold just over 360,000 SMART Board interactive whiteboards in 2009.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">People choose the SMART Board interactive whiteboard because it helps energize presentations and motivate learners. In 1991, it was the world's first interactive whiteboard. Today, it is the world's leading interactive whiteboard. Combining the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer, the SMART Board interactive whiteboard engages students and audiences around the world.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">The touch-sensitive display connects to your computer and digital projector to show your computer image. You can then control computer applications directly from the display, write notes in digital ink and save your work to share later.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Best of all, the full-featured SMART Board interactive whiteboard is incredibly easy to use. If you can use a computer, you can use a SMART Board interactive whiteboard. <span style="color: #800080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Examples In "Real Life": In the Classroom and Business

The main example of real life uses is obviously in the classroom. Every teacher could utilize a SmartBoard in their classroom. Elementary, Secondary, Special Education, Early Education, and even at the Collegial level, instructors could apply their lessons with the SmartBoard. Even parents who home school their children teach their children using the SmartBoard; this would give their child opportunities to still work with technology, even though they are not within the traditional classroom. Whether it is a literary game in second grade or a presentation in a college course, SmartBoards have given teachers the opportunity to enhance their classroom lessons. Both students and teachers have the advantage with the SmartBoard.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Besides educational uses of the SmartBoard, businesses could also use these effectively. Staff could use SmartBoards in conferences and presentations rather than the typical powerpoint or poster. This way the presenter can make notes next to the statistics and graphs while presenting. The notes and calculations can also be saved and later emailed to the rest of the staff for future reference. The SmartBoards also include USB ports, in which a business person can plug their USB in without having to bring a laptop or computer to hook up to the system. Also, SmartBoards allow conferences to occur in multiple locations in order to communicate with others in different countries. This would make businesses more affective and presentations more valuable. Any work force that incorporates presentations or meetings can easily find SmartBoards helpful and interactive for their staff.

<span style="color: #ff7000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Special Needs or ELLs Smartboards are good for children with special needs because they may have trouble grasping concepts through traditional textbooks and often find learning support through touchscreen technology. The smartboard is great for ESL students because there are many different interactive activities such as SmartBoard Spin and Spell, it has an image and pronunciation accompanying each word. media type="custom" key="6984695" <span style="color: #cc7bcc; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 150%;">Parent Uses Parents can use SMART Boards for homeschooling.

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Shared reading lessons: Children's books are projected on the screen so the students may see the text, and read out loud along with the teacher to increase their reading proficiency.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Learner response system: Students use hand-held "clickers", which allow the teacher to poll the class through multiple choice questions, or request text and numeric responses which are exported as an analysis of the student performance for subsequent review, depending on the sophistication of the clicker.
