Earlier this week my science class recieved a SMART Board. You use a projector to project onto the SMART Board your computer. This includes, the internet, Word documents and coloring pages. The board is touch screen. Using special pens you can write on any document you choose. So far we have used the SMART Board to watch vidoes on ecology and label organizers using the pens. The SMART Board was created in 1991 and was the first interactive whiteboard. Ever since, it has been the leading interactive whiteboard, "Combining the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer." Two new things i learned about the SMART Board is that it was the first interactive whiteboard, and that the SMART Board is used by astronauts. I think the SMART Borad is one of the best inventions in modern day. With this board students around the world can have a fun, easy way to learn. I believe the SMART Board will be a great success for years to come. My students and I are very fortunate to be able to have one of these pieces of history in our classroom.
