I use a smartboard in my school and it has been a very good experience.

We use it in all the subjects in different ways and the results have been very good.

The envolvement of students is more instense whenever we use interative activities.

Dont use smartboard all that much, but I do use computer with projector a lot. I prefer writing directly on a touchscreen pc, being able to face class while writing on the "blackboard" that is the projector. Also focus on having media enabled well made presentations that have as little text as possible, and some exercises to work on with the pupils.

I've been using smartboards for a couple of years now, and I really can't imagine how boring my lessons were before! The smartboard is really engaging, helps teacher to quickly change from one activity to another (listening, dictation, video, etc) and thanks to the e.books teacher don't have to bring books at school anymore!

This is me and my smartboard: I let my students take pictures of my English explanations or of the homework l write on it.

Using smartboard is excellent way to teach
kids. We use it mostly to practise math and kids love it. This way we also
reduce stress during assessment tasks.

Smartboards are good for teaching, but I prefer teaching language when each child has got a computer or a tablet. I think it is better when children can individually use the technologies.

In my country, not all schools have this kind of tool. I would like to try it because it seems to be very interactive and teacher can control everything is done. Even though,teachers have to help students to have autonomy, teenagers and children need teacher's guide almost all the time.

This is some teachers do as well in Greece when working with smartboards. It is true that children find the use of smartboard more interesting and engaging for them. The danger is here is not follow traditional teaching techniques, i.e just show things and have students write on their notebooks.

Back in 2010 some teachers had a 15 hour course on Smartboards because some schools were going to get them for their classes. I've attended the course and as a result made a small activity to use with my 12 y.o. students to teach them about some stratigraphic principles and the formation of folds. Although the activity is quite simple and I've used only some basic tools, it was all new to me and to them. I found that the amount of time I needed to prepare the activity was huge and couldn't do it always for every class. But then again, after the basics were learned, the things would start to flow much more quickly. The students loved to learn using the smartboard and because I always try to give them a real example of everything, by the end of the school year, these students knew a lot about the geology of Portugal.

I find that smartboards allows us to teach in different ways giving to students an environment much more appealing where they can learn using collaborative work. It also motivates them to learn and to try to go further because it can be challenging.

I have had a smartboard in every class with internet connection in most of these classes for about one year.Only this year I am using it and of course the students' engagement is really very remarkable because we can integrate books , which I find rather limited in learning opportunities in comparison to digital resource which on the contrary are limitless.: videos, wikis, podcast etc... I like working with the use of smartboard However I am trying to define criteria to assess our students digital skills and to integrate these in our evaluation system, which is rather tough for me as I am the only teacher who wants to cope with this innovative approach.etc.., I am trying to help my colleagues to try ,For this reason I have held some training sessions, which are free, and in the blended form

I think smart board is useful, especially if we work with dynamic programs, for ex. geogebra, to show some relationships of maths. In my school we have a smart board in some of the classrooms. I think 80% of the cases teachers don't use them. They are more useful when used by students at classroom for the purposes of their studies and exercises.

I'm not so fond of smartboards. I've used them, but it looks like they doesn't fit my goals. My students are aged 17-19, therefore I need tools which can enrich their learning experience with collaborative skills and critical thinking. Can't see a specific contribute of the Smartboard to these skills.

The interactive whiteboard is a real asset to the

class! Involve children in activities, making them more active in the learning process, it is motivating for the playful and facilitator. Even weak pupils are more involved. In Sardinia, where I live, all classes possess a smartboard but not all colleagues the use, for some are seen as a waste of time.

Smartboards can be a really good think, but it needs to be used right. A lot of the time in this video it looks like the teacher might as well have used an old blackboard. Look at the picture I have uploaded. The children have got the question: "Where is the chair". And they point at the chair at the Smartboard. But look at the foreground of the picture. There is the chair! :-) Use digital tools when it makes sense, and the real world does not solve it better

Unfortunately the only time I was near a smart board was for about two hours, when a colleague made a presentation of how it operated and what it had to offer to our teaching. And all this during a seminar on ICT in education. This was about 4 years ago. Ever since I had none opportunity to use one and find out the pros and cons of it. As the teacher in the video noted it took them an whole year to master it. So, none new technology is good or bad on its own. The way it is used makes it such or such.

What I liked mist in the video was that students were allowed to assume the role of the teacher. They were teaching to their peers. And as we the teachers knw very well, teaching others helps you to understand better the subject matter.

Using smartboard in the classroom is useful - I think - at every level or grade. I teach Spanish and I find it extremely useful not only to teach the language but also to help my students to understand the culture of the Spanish-speaking countries.

With a smartboard you can easily have acces to a huge amount of documents that you can modify, analyze and share with your classmates and teacher.

As the Belagian teacher says, it is much more engaging and motivating and it respects each student's way of learning.

Using a Smartboard to teach literacy and numeracy and as well as other curricular contents seems to be a good start for beginning the integration of ICT resources and equipments in classroom. It brings a new purpose for the application of curricular concepts but with little pedagogical changes. So, some teachers may like to use this approach until they get to feel more confident.

I had the experience of working with Smartboard a few years ago, and I must admit that this tool transforms boring lessons into attractive activities. Our students can handle the boad, touch the answers and so on, so that, even those students who feel less motivated, want to take part into the activities.

Sometimes you can propouse them to bring from home some intective material they have previoslu looked for on the internet, then they explain them to their partners and use them in the classroom. This activity can develop an investigative instinc in our studens

All they started when I've shown the smartboards at the new school I came. Then it started an amasing time of learning, experimenting with our students and finally creating 3 e-journals which now have become a resource for google engine machine because of new materials, games, forms, web tools as well. Because of a few ones we knitted for two years and sell our modern scarfs and brassels and bought an interactive board, a projector and two laptops for further enjoyment. They are really wonderful tools for modern teaching.
