Hi Cindy, I think interaction is key. I also feel some students feel uncomfortable being up front. I use new dual board technology and Interwrite Mobi where a child is able to interact from the...See More

Where to look for technology grants

by Melissa/Ohio

Mar 25, 2009

Where is a good place to look for a technology grant for my classroom? I would love either a smartboard or a mimeo system for my special education classroom. I believe that my students would really be able to interact with the materials on a whole new level. Any ideas on where to start looking for funding. My tech person has been no help in this ma...See More

casga I assume you are referring to a new Promethean technology where two people can write on the board at the same time? I have not seen it in action, nor know of anyone who has it yet. Keep us informed as to what you find out!

Smartboard/Promethean space saving ideas?

by Cindy

Apr 24, 2009

Our boards are on their rolling stands and the projectors are placed on a table or cart or whatever you can come up with. The laptop is next to the projector. Problem: To back the table up far enough to get a large image on the board one uses up an inordinate amount of already precious little classroom space. With 25 to 30 kids, it's crowded!

I figured it out. If anyone else is interested, here's how to do it:

1. Create a textbox using the text tool. The text edit toolbox should appear.

2. Click on the little arrow between the ? and the X.

3. In the dropdown menu...See More

Been trying for two years to get a wall mounted smart board in my room, and found out again today that I didn't rate to get one of the four new ones coming in.

New to SMART Boards

by Anne

Jul 2, 2009

I am a fourth grade teacher. This summer our school is installing SMART Boards in the third and fourth grades. I am expected to integrate this technology into my teaching in the fall. I have only used a laptop for email and for searching in google. Any suggestions for a new user would be great! Thanks

Teri There's a lot of other components that would be nice to have, but I don't think there's anything else you NEED. I'm not sure how much a whiteboard costs--I think around $2000? The company that helps our school is called AVI-SPL. The company is based in Tampa, Florida (my school's on the other coast in Martin County).
