A smart board is an interactive tool that I think will slowly be integrated into classrooms in the future. A smart board is basically a large, interactive white board that responds to touch. They make it possible for many computer applications to be controlled without having to stand behind a computer at the front of the class the whole time. In the above picture, it shows a student who looks like he is writing in an answer to a question on a worksheet. This is an effective way for a student to learn because it gives them another opportunity to show their comprehension of concepts taught in class in a cool, new way. I think for a student to have the opportunity to control computer applications on a white board just by touching it or writing on it would cause them to want to participate more during class.
