SMART BOARDS FOR EVERY CLASS
Educational Techonolgy in our classrooms has advanced tremendously in the past decade alone. This page is meant as a resource list of free interactive educational websites and software for both parents, students, and teachers, but I would like to emphasize that technology for education today comes in many useful forms. Smart boards are a more recent form of technology for teachers. Smart boards are not free, but there are resources and ways available for teachers to take advantage of in order to implement smart boards into their classrooms. Smart boards are not only for teachers, but are also a great way to get students involved and interacting in classroom activities. Smart boards help make teaching fun for the whole classroom, and are simply another wonderful technology available in helping students learn.
