Unit Two: Smart Notebook

Pre-requisite: Must have a SMART board

SMART Boards are interactive whiteboards developed by SMART Technologies. They are large touch-sensitive whiteboards that use a sensor for detecting user sensory input, such as scrolling or tapping, that is equivalent to normal PC input devices, such as a mouse or a keyboard.

Smart Notebook software is used for use with Smart boards. Smart Notebook is the software that runs the classroom in today's educational instruction. SMART Technologies, the maker of the SMART board, says its whiteboards are used in more than 1.5 million K-12 classrooms and by more than 30 million students globally. And they point to research that shows interactive whiteboards benefiting “student engagement, learner motivation and knowledge retention" (Weber, 2017).
