Smart Board

My first exposure to the Smart Board was in my High School German class. The teacher used it for most, if not all of our lessons. I remember understanding more of the lessons after we began using the Smart Board due to the fact that the visuals helped me learn the vocabulary of the new language (German). Over the years, I've noticed that the Smart Board has become more popular in today's classrooms. The technology has helped many teachers implement different on-line activities into their lessons because they now have a way to interact with the computer while it is projected for the entire class to see. Being a Deaf Education Major, visuals in the classroom are crucial to student learning. Without the help of technology such as the Smart Board, I would have a difficult time making lessons accessible to all of my Deaf and Hard of Hearing students.
