Projectors have been a mainstay in most classrooms for quite some time, but when paired with smart boards they become much more useful in the classroom. Smart boards are durable touchscreens that replace traditional projection screens. While they often pair with specific projectors, some high-end versions function more like large touchscreen displays.
You can write on smart boards with regular dry-erase markers, but they also come equipped with electronic markers that allow color changes at will. With a suite of dynamic features, teachers can carry out numerous tasks directly on the smart board. Teachers can easily set up interactive games, quizzes, and more for students. These activities can be created on the fly, or preloaded by transferring files to the smart board.
Presentations and lectures come to life with the ability to upload videos, graphics, and other media. Any content displayed can be annotated with the smart board’s pens, modified, and even cut and pasted, offering more versatility than a conventional whiteboard. Plus, different screens and settings can be saved and recalled, making it convenient for multiple class sessions.
