"Making Strides in Miramichi"

In this particular article by Diane Curtis, one can read about how using the SMART Board in one's classroom can truly change the dynamic, students' grades, and even how much more they students want to learn. From reading this article, I have some new ideas of different ways on how to incorporate a SMART Board into the classroom. Students are enjoying this new technology in their classrooms. According to this article, those schools that are using this technology have seen an increase in students' grades. "The more children are engaged, the better learning they will have and the higher academics they'll achieve." Students were not as involved in their classrooms when it was just a stick of chalk and a blackboard, but now these students are wanting to participate more. It is a great tool to have in a classroom for many different reasons. Some of these reasons include, having larger font sizes for all students to be able to see, having audio go along with what is being taught, or to have children be able to fully understand what they are learning about by using this great technology.
