With technology advancing as rapidly as it is, the amount and quality of software available to help teachers in the classroom is bountiful. One very advanced and helpful piece of software is made by SMART Technologies. It is called the SMART Notebook Software and is used in conjunction with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

A SMART Board interactive whiteboard appears at first glance like any other white board. However, if you look at the top of the board, there is a special projector. This enables one to plug their computer into the Smart Board and project onto it. Then, one can touch the whiteboard and teach lessons or give lectures by just touching the screen. This requires less going back and forth for the teacher.

Not only that, but technology inspires and engages children to want to participate. With the SMART Board students can go up to the board and write on it themselves just as if it were a normal white board, they can drag objects if they were doing some sort of a matching activity, as well as many other activities. The possibilities are virtually endless.

As mentioned previously, the SMART Notebook software is what a teacher uses to build lessons and deliver presentations or lead activities using the SMART Board. All your resources become literally right at your fingertips. This software allows a teacher to use images, videos, and themes to make a lesson interactive. A teacher can import their own files or use the files provided in the Gallery. A teacher can also use a blank SMART Notebook page as if it were a normal whiteboard, and then save all the lessons and notes into a document that the students can access from anywhere.

Along with the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and SMART Notebook software mentioned above, SMART technologies offers many other products one can use in conjunction with them. There is a SMART Response interactive response system where one can use a remote to report their answer to the SMART Board at the front of the room. This can be used for interactive games or polls. There is a SMART Table interactive learning center where instead of writing on the whiteboard, one can write on the desk. There are SMART Document cameras, as well as SMART slate wireless slates. There are also different types of SMART Classroom Suites available. With this technology available to teachers, engaging students and encouraging them to be active in their education and their learning is becoming more powerful and more successful.
