When presented with the idea of talking about anything technological I could not think of anything that hadn't been discussed before -- so I chose something new to me and that would benefit me this coming school year.
My school is due to receive 40 new smart boards -- WOW! Since we had not had smart boards previously this is a big deal -- well I knew nothing. During my research this evening I found several internet sites that could be useful to teachers or librarians working with smart boards. I would have preferred that they had been called interactive boards because that is how I see their use -- they are not just a white board (found in most classrooms today) -- they are boards that can be connected to computers to make it easier for teachers to share resources and activities with students. Below are the sites that I found:

One of my summer projects is to gather information that may be useful to the various departments at my school as they implement the use of the new smart boards. I would appreciate your sharing any information you happen across during the course of this class.

Wow, 40 new smart boards. My school has no smart boards. I took a technology class during the spring and we talked a little about smart boards and saw how on worked. This is a great piece of technology and like you said this is an interactive tool for the students and teacher. I think a lot of students will benefit from these since they are hands on.
What a great collection of sites you've found! Thanks for sharing. In our district we subscribe to a database called TumbleBooks http://www.tumblebooks.com/
which includes 175 animated talking picture books. We've found these work very well with the Smart Boards. I would love to see every library have a Smart Board for use with applications such as these....just for starters!
I can't wait to explore the sites you've provided.
I am SOOOOOOOO jealous! 40 smartboards?1?!?! I've taken several classes on smartboards but we only have 1 in the comp lab that i can use once a week. Pretty lame. I am thinking about doing my own fundraiser to get one in my classroom. There are so many amazing things are you can do with a smartboard!
