Why Smart Boards are beneficial in the classroom?

Allows you to use a variety of media with the entire class

There is so much online content available which is aimed at primary school kids; an interactive whiteboard lets you take advantage of this. You can quickly and easily show your class a PowerPoint, a video, a song, etc. and then get on with the rest of the lesson.

A. It suits a variety of learning styles

The range of media you’re able to share with your class means you can more easily cater to different learning styles. For example, PowerPoints and videos are great for kids who learn better when they have visual aids, whereas things like songs and other audio helps auditory learners.

An interactive flat panel can employ multiple senses, like sight, sound and touch. This helps kids remember information better because they’re using multiple parts of the brain when engaging with it.

B. Improved student motivation and engagement

Students learn best when they are fully engaged, and hands-on learning is one of the best ways to do so. Furthermore, multi function smart boards enhances a student’s learning experience by allowing them to see diagrams, charts, videos, and maps on a large screen in front of them in real-time.

C. Increase students’ participation

Smart board is suitable for learning, as students can draw and write on the same board. This encourages creativity. Teachers can also let students work on the same board, so everyone can work together to create something unique.

D. You (and the kids) can interact with material directly

For example, kids can write answers directly on the board, while you can highlight, underline and circle bits of text you want to emphasise. It also allows you to provide immediate, class-wide feedback. Smart board increases student engagement, which in turn improves their learning process.
