smartboard session

So...the other day I atttended a seminar on how to use a smartboard. Although I am constantly exposed to a smart board, I have never been allowed to use one in a school before because I did not have the proper training. I am ectatic because I now have a certificate that shows my completion of basic training in smartboard use. I never knew that there were so many functions that the smart board has. Did you know that you can use your fist to erase on the smart board, or write with basically any object if you lose one of the smart board pens? Something that I found particularly interesting was the fact that you can write something on the smartboard and then convert it to text; as well as the fact that the smart board stores information and pictures that you choose from the internet. This makes lessons easier for teachers to plan and far more interesting for students to follow. I thought that the seminar went well and that it taught me a lot about a technology that I had been exposed to but was never before allowed to use. I am very excited t present the schools with my certificate and begin practicing the use of the smart board so that I can further enhance my lessons with smart board activities.
