Why are Smart Boards Great for Students?

There are many reasons why SmartBoards would be great for students. Students would increase their motivation, therefore they would want to get involved and be an active learner. They would also be more interested in your topic or lesson of the day, it would allow creativity and variety in the classroom as far as activities. Mostly it would encourage students to actively participate, in class work, discussions, and answering questions. It gets students up and moving and learning to be an active learner.

I believe we need to have smartboards in the classroom, we had them where I went to school and they got students involved more in the classroom. Students who are actively learning and physically doing activities usually have a better chance at getting the better grades verses if you just sit there and listen. I think if we were to take smartboards out of the classrooms, the students would probably go back to not saying much in class and not answering questions.
