Lessons Brought to Life

Mepham High School is the proud owner of two SMARTBoard interactive whiteboards. The school library has the privilege of housing one of these SMARTBoards. We were able to see students become more engaged and motivated during lessons used with this technology. The whiteboard is a touch-sensitive screen that connects to a computer and digital projector to display the computer image. Teachers and students are able to control computer applications directly from the whiteboard, write notes in digital ink, and save their work to share later. Classes can now explore and manipulate Internet resources as a group. The SMARTBoard has been used by every curricular area and at every grade level. Educators’ resources for the SMARTBoard are available at http://education.smarttech.com/ste/en-us/.
