Enhancing the SMART Board Classroom Experience

The trajectory of learning is continuing to grow and change at a rapid pace. Advances in technology have completely revolutionized the classroom experience. SMART Boards Charlotte NC and beyond have brought together technology and collaboration, changing how learning is done in the classroom.

Seeing Is Educating

It’s no secret that some students are better visual learners. Implementing digital content via a SMART Board is an excellent way to enhance the overall learning environment. This is also reflective of the way students learn outside of the classroom as well. Phones, iPads and computers are used in just about every way imaginable and many students grow up as visual learners. Any lesson that can implement visual information can make the classroom more enjoyable and interactive.


Games Are Not Just For Kids

The term gamification is being used more and more in the classroom as teachers are introducing lessons in a game format. The use of a SMART Board brings that gaming experience to another level. However, material should always be educational and that is an important facet for teachers to remember. Education technology has proven to expand reading comprehension levels among students of all ages.

Google Education Apps

Google for Education has introduced training, products and resources for educators. An added benefit is that it allows students to work outside of the classroom as well, utilizing other Google Apps. Many students are already familiar with these Apps. Google has changed so much in the way things are done and now that extends to the classroom.

SMART Amp & Notebook

The SMART Notebook and SMART Amp are two tools teachers can use in their everyday instruction. SMART Amp has the capability of connecting students all around the world while the SMART Notebook can be a teacher’s best friend and part of his/her daily lessons.


Teacher Workshops

In order for teachers to fully utilize the technology in their classrooms, there is a need to stay up to date on all of the latest trends. Teachers do not have to be computer experts, but it helps to have a firm command of what you can do with your SMART Board.
