What is a Smart Board?
.A smart board is an interactive whiteboard. Smart technologies make a large range of interactive educational devices and while there are other brands of interactive white boards it has become common place to call all boards, smart boards regardless of their brand.
Smart Boards provide an interactive learning environment where the material is projected onto a wall or large screen visible to the whole room. Elements can then be moved and edited using a pointer, fingers or hands, specifically designed no ink pens or a range of other devices available as accessories.
The use of Smart Boards in classrooms is relatively new and is likely to increase in the coming years. For this reason the use of Smart Boards is an area of interest to those in the education industry and for us as pre-service teachers.
