Kindergarten Gets SMART!

Mrs Woodfin recently started using a Smart Board in her Kindergarten classroom.  The students are so excited to be able to control the computer themselves by touching the board. Mrs. Woodfin has quickly started created great lessons for her students using the software.  She has been using the board in all of her subject.  According to her

• I used the Smartboard for coin recognition and  to assess students. 

• I show students a sight word and the student says the word.  Then they write the word and use it in a sentence. 

• I will use the Smartboard software to write a math problem and the student will draw the answer and explain it to the class.

Student engagement always increases when they can intereact with content in meaningful ways.  Using the Smart Board is one way of doing this. Way to go Kindergarten!
