Using the SmartBoard

I thought that the SmartBoard was super fun to work with. It is definitely something that I would need a significant amount of practice with to use it effectively in class. Once I learn the ropes, I am sure that it is simple. One major things that I need to work on is how I position myself. I find that it is rather easy to stand directly in front of the board preventing students from seeing. I think that doing that is natural because we are used to being in front of a computer screen. I think that SmartBoard is a wonderful invention. Every class should have one, but they will only be an effective tool if teachers are trained properly.
