This URL above is linked to the "Music Teachers Blog" designed to collect resources for all types of music teachers. Janice's post requests readers to send ideas for using Smart Board. At the bottom of the page is a link to an article about a teacher in California who is very enthusiastic about using the new tool in her classroom. She explains her ideas in very simple terms for those who are unfamiliar with the technology. She notes that a teahcer can be as creative as he/she wants - if you have much computer experience, great; but if you don't, it's still possible to put together extremely engaging lesson plans for the students. I am all for Smart Boards! I substitute teach at a poor elementary school in my home district (when I'm at home) and even this school of limited resources was able to find grant money to put Smart Boards in every classroom. The kids are absolutely enthralled with them! Students are so excited for every lesson. I hope that administrators will not exclude music classrooms when purchasing Smart Boards becuase they could be used in so many ways. It seems Janice also posted a video at the bottom of her blog but it was taken off for permission of use reasons. Let me know if anyone has any other teaching or learning experiences with a Smart Board.
