Interactive White Boards

I was lucky enough to attend school in the Carlisle School District in Carlisle, PA, because when I was in 5th grade the district received one of the largest technology grants ever given to a single school district. With it, every student above 8th grade had a laptop made available to them, there were three computer labs in every building and, most importantly, every SINGLE classroom in the school district had it's own Smart Board.

I think that this technology revolutionized the way that I learned and made it clear to me that technology is so important in the classroom. I was taught in a much more digital environment than some of my peers and I feel that that will only help me to incorporate it into the classroom. While I know that not every school or classroom will have a Smart Board or any other type of interactive white board, I think that they are something that all schools should strive for. They make technology so accessible in the classroom and they are such a good idea for students of all ages.
