Smartboard Presentation

I enjoyed learning about the smartboard since, although I have heard of them, I have never actually used one. I think it is a great tool for allowing students to get out of their seats and immerse themselves in what they are learning in a tactile way. I am a tactile learner so for me to learn about the smartboard, I have to touch it and play with it, so I can see what features would work best for my classroom. I particularly liked the window effect, where you could reveal information as you wished using the window to cover the anticipated information. I also liked the ability to use graphic organizers for teaching pre-writing.
