first any teacher can become overwhelmed. I mean a board that is called smart? What can this device do that will make learning to read more fun and engaging and yet be a valid form of learning? Well, with time and refresher after refresher classes, it is now clear. The Smartboard is mounted in the front of the classroom where a white board would have been. A projector is mounted on the ceiling and connections are made to the computer and the board. With a remote control, a teacher can turn the Smartboard
The interactive whiteboard has been in use in the corporate arena for many years and has been successful in making impact on customers through a seamless presentation of data. The interactive whiteboard has made a jump to the classroom and has been able to have just as significant of an impact but for many different reasons. The interactive whiteboard has become a tool to engage students, provide for student involvement in the learning process and has generally made learning more fun for both teacher
The Smart Classroom The classroom is a place that is constantly trying to be improved for the betterment of students’ education. New teaching methods and improvement in environment are all constantly being researched; however, recently, research on technology in the classroom has flourished. The Smart Classroom contains these technological advances and triggers them toward in-hancing student learning. Classrooms in the past never really took into consideration that all students learned differently
Instead of the traditional whiteboard or chalkboard that have been common in most classrooms, Smart Boards have been implemented in all levels of education from elementary to the university level.

Assistive technology includes simple tools like specialised chairs and communication boards made of felt. It also encompasses individualised gross-motor devices such as prosthetic limbs. Assistive technology as suggested by (Ilcaustralia.org.au, 2015) includes computer hardware like keyboards, laser pointers and screen-readers. Classrooms
capabilities. One thing my classroom will have is a smart board. In fact, every classroom will have one. Smart boards, otherwise known as interactive whiteboards, are like big computer screens the size of chalkboards. The screen shows whatever the computer attached to it tells it to, and things can be highlighted and edited by touching the screen. The boards are also able to be written on, and are totally interactive, hence the name interactive whiteboard. These will be really helpful when teaching
21st Century Teaching Over the past few years mankind has taken major technological leaps. The use of technology has affected everyone, even the education system.

According to “ABC News” “Plus, many kids now use tablets or laptops to take notes, meaning there's really little reason to learn those letters by hand.” This quote shows how classrooms are a lot more modern and that laptops are used a lot and frequently during the day.

It was used in the sense of “the sergeant received a smart salute” or “the wound smarted
Technology is a very helpful tool that should be implanted into all urban and high poverty schools. “Technology is treated as a tool to help accomplish complex tasks (rather than as a subject of study for its own sake) that engage students in extended and cooperative learning experiences that involve multiple disciplines” (Griffin and Holland, 2008). Technology is a good tool to use when accommodating different learning styles. Therefore technology can become a motivator for students to keep them

meaning. We have moved from the days of chalkboards, to whiteboards, to interactive whiteboards. Our students seem to be more computer savvy than their teachers. Home telephones are starting to become a thing of the past, and cell phones have turned into mini-computers. Technological geniuses have even tried to eliminate books by creating electronic books, for example the Kindle and Nook. It has become pretty evident that being technologically smart is a necessity in today's world. In the past, technology
