After reading through my peers' feedback, I will certainly love my SmartBoard! Specifically though, Kerry-Ann offered a great point about how having technology in the classroom is great, but if the students do not have the skills to use the technology, it becomes a waste. This is exactly what I do not want to happen. I do not want the SmartBoard to be utilized as a PowerPoint projection screen; instead, I want students to learn how to fully use the SmartBoard.
Additionally, I can be sure to save my SmartBoard lessons using another form of software in the situation that I lose my SmartBoard or switch rooms. Not every room has a SmartBoard. This way I do not lose what I have already developed.
Finally I will be sure to watch other colleagues who have the SmartBoard and utilize it in a variety of ways. The school district does have classes to learn SmartBoard technology, but I received my SmartBoard too late to take advantage of these courses. The next available time slot will be in March, but I want to begin learning sooner than that.
