What educators say Using the SMART Board allows students to use multiple senses in the learning process. The fact that the students can use “touch technology,” which allows students the ability to touch the screen and manipulate the object on the screen, lets students participate physically with the materials on the board. – Sister Maryanne Winterberg, Immaculate Conception School The students love the board. Anytime we turn it on, we have their attention immediately. They are curious and very excited to interact with it. The board and software have definitely had a positive impact on teaching and learning at O’Hara Catholic School. – Dianne Bert, O’Hara Catholic School
