Smart Boards are seen all in schools now. From Elementary Schools to Colleges. What is so neat about them? There are many different ways you can use a smart board. You can use it as a blackboard, write right on the screen or play games on it to help the students learn. Smart Boards can be descired as a power point slide but more hand on. There are many actives that the smart board program comes with from matching, ordering, muiltply choose, key words, word guess and many more. All you have to do is fill in the blanks and the games are yours. You can add pictures, sounds and many more stuff.

Word Guess for example is alot like hangman. You can add the words and give hints. The students then would come up to the board and guess letters till they get the answer right. Behind the scences, the teacher would fill in the blanks on the Word Guess Tempele and can select different cartoons to play during the game.
