Smart Board Lesson From a Social Studies Teacher

October 7, 2009 by Ben Edwards 

Back in March of this year I had the opportunity to make an author visit to Leicester Memorial School in Leicester, Massachusetts. Every room was outfitted with a Smart Board and I heard rave reviews from the fifth grade teachers and their students. This was my first experience with electronic whiteboards and it really opened my eyes to the exciting future of classroom education. Smart Board is helping teachers rethink their approach to teaching. The options for imaginative lesson planning are vast. I saw firsthand how educators had instant access to a wide array of electronic resources and how this helped them to accommodate different learning styles. I was told the students showed increased motivation and enjoyed the interaction the technology offers. Today’s students are immersed in a world of electronic gadgets outside of school and they love it. It’s completely logical to utilize similar technologies in school to keep students fully engaged and make learning a lot more fun! That’s what Smart Board is doing for schools here in Massachusetts and across the country. Below are two videos that demonstrate how one Social Studies teacher is using Smart Board technology in his classroom.
