SMARTboards

We are very fortunate to have had the ability to add SMARTboards to our preschool learning environment. Together with the an extensive software program offered by Hatch Early Learning we offer a well-rounded academic program.

SMART Board is an interactive whiteboard developed by SMART Technologies. It is a large touch-sensitive whiteboard that uses a sensor for detecting user input (e.g. scrolling interaction) that are equivalent to normal PC input devices, such as mice or keyboards.

The SMART Board has a touch-controlled screen that works in conjunction with a projector and a computer. The projector puts the computer’s desktop image onto the interactive whiteboard, which acts as both a monitor and an input device.

SMARTboards put simply, are a sophisticated replacement of the traditional overhead projector. Over the years, this cutting-edge technology has proved popular for students of all ages. The interactive board turns a typical classroom into a fun learning environment.

Here are 3 key advantages of using interactive whiteboards in a classroom setting:

  • Improved Learning. While some students are auditory learners, absorbing information efficiently through the spoken word, others are visual learners
  • Increased Participation
  • Enhanced Collaboration
