First Thoughts on SmartBoards

Today was my first day of teaching with a SmartBoard and Notebook software and I'm impressed with how easy it is to use. I'm not entirely certain I'm using it to its full creative capacity, but that will come with time, I suppose. Today I used it for simple note-taking and note saving, and let kids in another course use it to list what they each knew about a particular ecology topic before and after I taught the lesson. I like the way I can turn each lesson into a PDF file that the kids can download from my class website, too.
