SmartBoard

 When I first began working on this project, I was frazzled to say the least. I had previous experience working with SmartBoards in the classroom, but, unfortunately, those experiences weren't very positive. However, once I began experimenting with the software and exploring the pre-made lessons and activities on Smart Exchange, I really started to enjoy creating my presentation. By completing this project, I have become very familiar with SmartBoard and know how to use many of the features including the shade tool, various writing utensils (pens, highlighters, magic pen), built-in multimedia and interactive activities, and the page recording feature.

 I have also already put my SmartBoard skills to the test in my Practicum classroom! I found a learning activity online on the different sentence types that my students were learning about in class. We used the activity as a review before they took a quiz. The interactive software really helped reinforce the material, and they all did very well on the assessment.

 I am now a fan of SmartBoard, and plan to create many more lessons and activities for my classes. :)
