What is a SMART Boardtm you ask?  

The SMART Boardtm interactive whiteboard turns your computer and projector into a powerful tool for instructional, professional development, and student collaboration. Research findings from the U.S., the UK, Australia and Canada show that student engagement, learner motivation, and knowledge retention are three of several aspects of learning that have been shown to benefit.

Consolidated SMART Boardtm Snap-shots

Here  a student is using the board as a touch screen.  Using her finger, she drags down the alphabet letters in  Smart Speller  to spell a prompted word.  
Smart Speller uses either words, vowels, or graphics to prompt the student to spell the word.
We can also use the markers with this software!
Speller is a new free addition to the
SMART Boardtm software.
