No need to panic. You know how to use a computer??? The �smart board � is an extension of the computer it �s attached to, and you finger becomes the mouse. So you do in front of your class what you �d do at your PC at home. The difference is of course that you have many eyes looking at whatever you do, and wanting to come to the board to do it for you!
But that �s why it �s called interactive. Many of my ss became computer savvy just by looking and next by interacting! That �s why these boards are officially known as Interactive White Boards. �Smart board � is a brand name.
The best thing I can advice is to do a Google search of either name, with the addition of the word Tutorial. You can also add �Easy teach � in your search. And then there is of course You Tube!!! You �ll be surprised by the amount of tutorials you �ll find.
I did, many years ago, and became so proficient that I became the expert, and an instructor to my colleagues. So beware :-)
For materials, well you came to the right website at ESL Printables.
Hope the above helps, and remember to count your blessings as many of our colleagues don �t have such luxury!
Cheers, Peter |

I wish my class got smart board someday. For now, I got a projector which nearly expired bulb....really outdated notebook. But I also love the blackboard...draw and write on it but a bit dusty...sneeze..sneeze. |
