Today's class was a thorough tutorial on the SMART Board.
I was really looking forward to this lesson and found it to be a great tool to use in the classroom (if the classroom is set up with a SMART Board). The SMART Board functions almost reminded me of Windows Paint and seemed to have a user friendly look and feel.
We learned how to use the utilize the different tools, including the pens and shapes. One of the pens, the Magic Pen, does several functions. It functions as a multipurpose drawing tool that lets the user zoom in on certain areas of the SMART Notebook page or add a spotlight to an object by drawing a circle around. The tool also allows a SMART user to write notes on their SMART which then disappear after a short period of time.
For homework we're going to apply what we learned in class and make up a lesson using the SMART Notebook program.
