New Smart Boards in the classroom

One may ask what a smart board is?


The Smart Board interactive whiteboard is an interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection for user input – e.g., scrolling, right mouse-click – in the same way normal PC input devices, such as a mouse or keyboard, detect input. A projector is used to display a computer’s video output on the interactive whiteboard, which then acts as a large touch screen. The Smart Board typically comes with 4 digital pens, which use digital ink and replace traditional whiteboard markers. Most Smart Board interactive whiteboards register only one touch at a time. 

With the smart board, I want to discuss and research if it is really good in the teaching field and will it take teaching students to the next level. By this I mean that will the smartboard really enhance the students interest about a certain subject.
