Smartboards

Interactive Multimedia software
Smartboards have great potential, offering much in the way of enriching the learning experiences of our students. Perhaps the most exciting is the potential to reach learners that we might not be able to reach using a chalk and talk methods. "The board can accommodate different learning styles. Tactile learners can benefit from touching and marking at the board, audio learners can have the class discussion, visual learners can see what is taking place as it develops at the board"(Bell, M. n.d.). Interactive technology will certainly change the face of the classroom while motivating and engaging all types of learners.
