Smart Boards

       The use of technology is the classroom is constantly increasing and evolving. The importance of introducing students to current technology is part of their education and to prepare them for the future. Another new technological advancement that used in the classroom is the smart boards. For me as the student, I think smart boards can give many beneficial. 

  

      The smart boards is an interactive board that allows a more interactive learning environment. The smart board interactive whiteboard is revolutionary because of its interactivity, flexibility and ease of use. The smart board is a positive advancement in the classroom that allows for the advancement of students. Today, it is the world's leading interactive whiteboard.  These boards increase the interactive atmosphere in the classroom which in return increases the learning experience. The teacher can project their notes and slide shows on these boards and instead of becoming a one sided lecture, it becomes a two sided experience. Students can edit and make notes on the screen or answer questions directly on the screen. This allows the students to play a larger part in the discussion and absorb more from the lesson.

     The problem in integrating the uses of this technology tool in the classroom is not all school is provided with the smart board due to their price is so expensive. Besides, their uses in learning process are so limited. Teachers more like to use the traditional method rather than use this device such as they just do power point or discussion among students. It is maybe due to the lack of time to prepare a lesson because to make a lesson by using smart boards must take time. Some of teachers also do not know how to use it.

      As a solution on this problem, more importance teacher must have knowledge to use the smart board and they must realize the beneficial they will get by using this device not only make learning become attractive but also can attract students’ attraction in classroom. 

      This technology tool is one of the most reliable ways for schools to change the way students interact and learn with the least amount of capital investment. Teachers will appreciate the selection of user templates and other great features that can only enhance their existing instructional methodologies. These students could benefit greatly from the use of an interactive whiteboard.
