Golden Square Secondary College Using SMART Boards

Allan Martin shares his class notes.

I visited Golden Square Secondary College this afternoon to provide some familiarisation training on their newly installed SMART Board interactive whiteboards and projectors.

It was great to see a lot of interest and 'buy-in' from the teachers. We had a packed room, ranging from teachers who had already started using the boards and software in their classes to teachers who still classed themselves as 'technophobic'.

After the scheduled session had finished, I hung around to go over some more examples with a handfull of super-motivated teachers.

Allin Martin, who teaches Maths at Golden Square Secondary College shared a few examples of how he uses the SMART Board interactive whiteboard in his classes.

One example really stood out to me. Allan had a number of student visiting Germany on an exchange program and to ensure that they could keep up with his lessons, Allan would convert his SMART Notebook files to a PDF document and then email them to his students in Germany. The world really is getting smaller.

Keep an eye out for future posts where I provide instructions on 'how to's'.

Have a SMARTer day,
Jeremy
