SMARTBoard and Technology

It's Monday and my second day in the classroom. I discovered today that my teacher has an AirLiner for her SMARTBoard, but has never used it! Well, I spent most of my plan/prep time working with the SMARTBoard, installing Notebook software, etc. The computer still is working differently than what I'm used to, and something is wrong with Adobe Flash Player, so I also installed and figured out how to use my laptop with the SMARTBoard and AirLiner. The cool thing about the AirLiner is that it let's me be mobile in the classroom. I can operate the computer and the SMARTBoard from anywhere in the room.

I love the SMARTBoard Notebook technology. In my technology and teaching class, I was accused of cheating on my SMARTBoard project because I used the SMARTBoard software than she'd seen anyone else do in the class. Technology and I get along very well. I love finding ways to incorporate it not only for my own feeling of accomplishment, but I also feel like it engages students. On the other hand, I don't like using technology unless it's something I can't do without technology.

In wedding related news, I have a picture of a cake I love!
