Emerging Technology Powerpoint

Smart boards are interactive whiteboards created by SMART Technologies in 1996. They can connect to laptops, tablets, and other devices. Teachers use smart boards for interactive lessons like fill-in-the-blank activities, group readings, and math problems. Smart boards increase student engagement and allow teachers to easily display digital documents and websites. They also allow writing on the board with a pen and erasing with a hand. While expensive initially, smart boards provide an engaging classroom experience for students.
