How Interesting!
I have found out so much from this subject. I had no idea about SMART boards within classrooms before this subject began. I would often hear my peers talking about pracs they had, where they used a SMART board. I however, had no idea what one was and how it worked. Now that I know what one is and how they work, I am very excited about the prospect of doing a prac or teaching with one in the future. I think the up and coming generation of teachers will be able to learn how to use the interactive board faster than teachers who have used a white/black board all their lives because ‘technology is a natural part of our lifestyles and is integral to our existence’ (Gee, 2006). I do think that SMART boards are creating new and exciting opportunities for both teachers and students within the classroom.
