Interactive white boards: Impacting Teaching and Learning. http://web.ebscohost.com.firma.northwestu.edu/ehost/pdf?vid=4&hid=12&sid=46d21fcd-df9d-4cce-8827-9a54849ed325%40sessionmgr14
What I learned about the smart board is that it can be used with other technologies. For example in this article it mentioned what the physics class does with a smart board. The students take pictures and then they take measurements using the tools on the smart board. They can also capture video. In English class the smart board can be used for student presentations. In math class assignments can be scanned on the smart board and then the teacher can write directly on the smart board to work out problems with the students. Just as a side note, an overhead projector can do the same thing and it might sound easier than scanning and pulling up the assignment. Also in the article, they mentioned how a smart board can be used in a biology class. What they do is access the internet to show simulations such as genetics. In language class the Spanish teacher uses the Spanish version of the smart board.
Smart boards really can be used in a lot of different ways. Even though history wasn’t mentioned in the article I think I would be able to take a little bit of information from each example and find something to work for my classroom. Interactive boards help students to apply school in a hands on way. They allow students to demonstrate thoughts and ideas. They help teachers get their point across using more than just words. The white boards have all five learning styles incorporated in it so I think all students would be a success in the classroom.
