The Smart Board

In science class we have recently aquirred a SMART Board. It is perhaps the COOLEST thing in the whole entire school! You can hook it up to a desktop or a laptop and its almost like a projector but its interactive. You can write on your documents by using the interactive expo like markers or you can type on your desktop or laptop and it will show up on the screen! Also, you can hook up a videogame console to it and you can play. For instance, we played BoomBlox on the wii with the SMART Board. I never thought that any piece of school equipment could give me that much enjoyment. The first SMART Board was created in 1991. Its the world's leading interactive whiteboard. Not to mention the coolest and easiest to use excpecially to me and thats saying something because I'm not technologically gifted if you catch my drift.
