The Wonders of Interactive Whiteboards

I read an article by Neal Starkman called "The Wonders of Interactive Whiteboards." Starkman described how SMART boards have positively impacted classrooms and the way that students learn. Using interactive whiteboards causes students to want to engage in school. It is more interesting for students when a SMART board is being used. Starkman wrote about a school in Ontario that used to have more suspensions every year than actual students. Once the SMART boards were brought to that school, the number of suspensions dwindled to 20. Also, the grades of students in that school went up. This was because students were able to engage in what the teachers were saying. SMART boards are also useful for teachers. They can save information and they are easy to use. Overall, SMART boards are a great addition to classrooms.
