Smart Boards can be a bit overwhelming at times with all their options including access to the Internet, which is filled with even more options. All those options are wonderful until the moment they create overload in a student’s mind and contribute to confusion.

Just as they did before the advent of the Smart Board, teachers must determine what their classes need to learn, and how best to teach that information. As long as a foundation of good, solid teaching is established, the teacher can work in any tool that is helpful to accomplish his or her goal. Fortunately, the Smart Board is so adaptable that teachers should have no difficulty in integrating it effectively.

Also, teachers do not have to reinvent the wheel. Smart Boards have been around long enough that there are a variety of resources to get a teacher started with the tool.
