SMARTBoard 800

If you know me, then you know I am a huge advocate and lover of all things SMART. I was blessed with the amazing opportunity to spend a week this summer in Calgary at the SMART headquarters and got to exlore many of the SMART products. While we unfortunately do not have any of the 800 series SMARTBoards in our district, you can bet that I will ensure any new boards that we purchase are the 800 series. We talk a great deal about increasing collaboration in the classroom, and what a better way to do it than with a board where 4 students can be working simultaneously. The 800 board has become much more user friendly, especially when thinking about students at the younger level. The multi-touch features make for easy manipulation and I can only imagine how much my students would love this board. Want to learn more and see the board in action?
