As I was looking for information on Smart Boards in the classroom, I stumbled across U Touch! What a great learning tool! Smart Boards are great for upper level classrooms but these U Touch screens are perfect for lower elementary. Teaching becomes very interactive as you can see! The feature I found most helpful is that I could have one student do something on one page and another could do something else on a completely separate page. Children seem to like their own spaces and tend to write big so to have a blank space for them is wonderful! And yet, I don't have to erase the child's work before them. In fact, you can still reference back to it with a click of a button! It is more than just a smart board, it is smart teaching!
Another option I found was a Smart Table. This one seems to be more child initiated. It has many learning opportunities as well! Technology is the future. It is wonderful that they are making it easier and more inviting for children at younger ages!
