SMART Board Usage

We used a SMART Board in the computer room at school to teach. Basically makes a SMART Board to your digital projector / LCD projector into an interactive whiteboard, you can write on. With the SMART Board, you can control all uses of the touch board. So instead of working behind the computer keyboard, you (or your students) can be found on the front of the class physically interact with the display. The SMART Board itself is a huge touch sensitive display to your computer connected. Use your digital projector to your computer screen on the SMART Board and software, it allows you to touch and interact with the computer.

The question arises whether the Smart Boards are a good investment. Write In fact, intuitive touch interface plus the ability of digital documents (digital ink), which help us to go further than school boards, flip chart and overhead projectors. Like other software applications in digital ink, you can work in a Notebook file, and you can convert handwriting into text. Difficult to write, the biggest disappointment with the digital ink from the fact that a Smart Board installed a front-projection wall. This means that your data projector is located directly in front of the screen (such as overhead projector set). That is, if you are between the projector and screen, you can create a shadow on the screen ... exactly where you try to write. Sure, it was cool to work with programs by touching the screen, but it was hard to write notes because you are constantly blocking the image.

You can use any of the four colors of markers and an eraser; write in digital ink over applications, websites and moving video. The SMART Board is still working, if you lose the pins. (There are 4 colored pencils and an eraser. If you lift the stylus from the slot, the color or the eraser is selected. If you touch the screen, use the selected color or the eraser.)

They have moved back and forth from the keyboard on the screen. We were able to launch your Web browser by touching the SMART Board, but when the moment in the address of the website; we had to give in to the Office of the URL to go back.


  • Total Cost of Ownership of a SMART Board can be invaluable to the teacher.


  • You need your own data projector. A new, decent projector costs about $ 500 - $ 1000 The SMART

  • Board is a huge touchpad. Do you need to supply your own projector to display the image on the SMART Board? (Software, cables and stands are included.)

Difficult to write neatly, to be honest, it was a little disappointing, as our handwriting was on the SMART Board. Better than our experience with other digital pens (i.e., the I-pen), but the handwriting is still big, block, and messy. One of the things you need to do is to the train, do not lean against the SMART Board. If you write on a blackboard or whiteboard, then rest normally on the edge of the palm on the board. If you do this, on a touch screen, the cursor moves to your palm and do not work. You have to train only the tip of the pen to write. The marker was OK if to underline or circle key ideas we wanted, but if you wanted to edit and revise, 12 points, double-spaced Word document, you have to have a hard time for the necessary checks.

SMART Boards are the old boards

Flip over the head pares and projectors in schools, colleges and universities to replace. But we're still not sure if it really is a good place to buy. We will discuss and demonstrate some of the advantages and disadvantages of such records on the market today found.

You can upgrade to a wireless connection to eliminate cable and pitfalls in the classroom. The image and the SMART Board touch screen, you can knock out of alignment. This means that when you press a key, the cursor a few inches to the side. You need hardware that would interrupt the class match.

Advantages:

  • You can use the board on the computer or laptop monitor, without using the keyboard, while the physical interaction of the screen on the display to the students.


  • There are four colored pencils and an eraser with the Board. These markers have four different colors and can be used to post on the boards with digital ink with a pen.


  • The things you write with this digital pen can be stored in text file as a notebook computer by converting your handwritten words.


  • Disadvantages:

  • The biggest problem is the writing on the board. Since the board has a front mounted screen, the image tends to lock when you are between the projectors receiving. This is a big disadvantage if your shadow of the light from the projector to the board almost useless.


  • The next problem is that it is difficult to write properly, without leaning on the board. Since the Board a touch-sensitive screen, the touch of the palm, if you try to write a disturbance by changing the position of the cursor created. To write to neatly on the blackboard, how to write with the tip of the pen, without having to learn to touch the screen with your palm. Even after extensive practice, it is not difficult to get the big words to write blocky and messy. It is simply to underline or circle important points with the pen, but it is to work hard and when the checks are to be rewritten to get difficult.


  • Even going with the touch-sensitive board, you should use the keyboard of your laptop or computer, as it places where no one can write with the pen are. How, after opening a web browser, you must return the keypad to write the URL as the plates do not support such applications.
