Yesterday we had training on using the new Smart Boards our school received. I finally got the system hooked up today and had fun playing around with it.A Smart Board is a white board that is linked to your computer. You can project whatever you want (images, videos, documents, websites) onto the board. What is cool is that with the Smart Board your finger is your mouse. So you can touch links on the Smart Board and click to new slides or new web pages, ect... You can also use the Smart Board markers to write onto the board/screen. You can then save what you have written, if you want, or just erase and start over.
The projected picture above is from the Alaska Earthquake Information Center. On that site you can see all the most recent earthquakes in Alaska. The one in the image is of small earthquake this morning near where we live. You can check out that page by clicking here.
I could spend way too much time trying to find ways to use this board. I hope that I will be fluent with the system pretty soon. It is quite cool!
