I haven't seen anyone use a smartboard very successfully since they came into existence. My question is, is it possible to use one efficiently in the classroom? Or does the technology get in the way of learning? Especially for teaching math, which is the subject area I work in.

I have had the opportunity to get one for my classroom but turned it down. I just don't see a reason to jump around in front of a screen and get beamed in the eyes by the projector. I use EPEE Software for Teachers with a splitter that sends a second signal of my computer screen to a projector. I sit at my desk at the side of the classroom and use the cursor to point to anything on the screen. I also have a printer in the corner for the student handouts. I just click the next lesson in EPEE and the handouts, worksheets, and quiz start printing and the presentation starts playing.

Our district may start using a new gradebook, Gensis/Synergy. Many of our teachers have heard bad things about this program. We hear that it is slow, and it doesn't do much. We're replacing Easy GradePro. I found some articles about online gradebooks, but I'm really interested in hearing what people say about Genesis/Synergy.

It is a design disgrace and a productivity limiter.

I beileve that different people learn in different ways. Our students seem to prefer to study for standardized tests (GMAT, TOEFL etc.) seem to learn well by taking practice tests so that they are comfortable with the format of the exams.
