I was so happy today as we were going to have a special session with Fenny, one of the facilitator from the Smart board company on how to use the smart board. This is what so called the Smart board workshop which was carried out in order to expose the pupils to the latest version of this technological tool. Actually, we have had this kind of workshop last year during our study in the previous college. However, the smart board has keep on changing as the time flew by, so in order to make us familiar with these new features, we really need this kind of workshop session.
Some of the new features that is provided by this newer version of smart board is the adjustability of its tools and application according to pupils height. This is very important as kids nowadays are smaller in size. Apart from that, the availability of duo screen enabled the teacher to use this smart board to the maximum. As for example the teacher conducted an activity which required the pupils to write up in two different columns on the board. Other extra features are the magic pens which can also be used as magnifier and also page recording where the teacher can simply record the process of problem solving particularly subjects involving calculation. This will definitely save time as well as energy.
Furthermore, we were also given with some of the useful Smart board websites which can be used by us, the future teacher to be to add on on our current features of Smart board. Among the features contain in the websites are the Teacher’s Hub, smart video and also smart exchange. The ‘smart exchange as for example enable us to download the lesson plan from other teachers in the other counties such as US and
In the end, I would like to say that this session was very helpful in providing me inputs on how to make use of this ‘smart’ tool to the maximum. Though I was a bit tired due to insufficient sleep but still I enjoyed the session very much. Thank you lecturers.
