Community reviews for SMART Notebook

As an Early Childhood Education Undergraduate student, I did not see a value in implementing this technology in the classroom. It was hard to navigate and use. I want technology to be a help, not a hindrance. I could not get the programs to work in an effective manner that could benefit the classroom.

I liked that this tool has the potential of making a lesson very creative and interactive. However, the touch screen did not work very well and took a lot away from the lesson.

Overall, I think that this technology is very out of date to a point where it no longer serves a purpose in the classroom. This technology was groundbreaking when it first came out however, it has not done anything to remain up with the times and a computer, ipad, or other personal device is much more useful than this.

As it was very helpful in my classrooms, I have found some difficulty keeping it running, and it is slow at times. Although they enjoy it there are new ways to teach and do the same activity.

This is a necessity in the current classroom. All teachers should be literate in this basic educational program for SMARTboard lessons in order to enhance everyday lessons!
