What: Last week we downloaded the SMART Board program on our computers and took time in class to go through several stations to explore the tools and capabilities of the program.
So What: I am so excited to learn more about the SMART Boards and to start working on Assignment #2 which is all about the SMART Board! It was so fun in class last week to mess around and so what all the buttons and taps on the board could do.
Now What: Of course, there is still a lot to learn about the program and to become familiar with. Really, the best way to go about knowing the program better is to actually use it. I know that we will get a lot more practice in with the upcoming assignment, but I'm also considering making SMART Board presentations based on what I'm learning in my science classes. This could serve a multitude of purposes: 1) Becoming more familiar with the SMART Board program, 2) Developing a better comprehension of the material being talked about in my classes by being familiar with the notes to actually create the presentations, 3) Gaining experience of creating technology aided lessons for future teaching, and 4) Creating presentations that could actually be used in future teaching (science). Although this may be a bit more time consuming than just looking through my notes, I think this could be more beneficial if I can set the time aside to follow through with it.
