| Smart Board : Is an interactive , multi-media device that uses a projector , lap top or PC that can be utized with a slight tapping on the board - this is the mouse. Of course, the keyboard may be used from the lap top or pulling down a tools menu from the Smart Board program to type from there. A keyboard shows on the screen. There is a notebook that uses text with a sensitive pen in four colors . An eraser is used and the information can be saved for future use. Here are the techniques used in a step by step process for better understanding: |
