 * __﻿*Reflection*:__ This semester was my first ever exposure to a SMART Board and using corresponding SMART Notebook software. I had seen the classroom teacher I am working with in my field experience present a few lessons to the class using the SMART Board and had no idea how a teacher would go about creating such lessons. I enjoyed creating a SMART Board lesson that I could actually use to teach at an upper elementary grade level. It was great experience and practice to familiarize myself with all of the different aspects of the SMART Notebook software as well practice assembling a usable lesson. The project was also good exposure and practice with using the actual SMART Board itself. I am very impressed with the idea of a SMART Board, which is basically a touch-sensitive interactive white board which is connected to a computer and projector. I like the fact that you can project webpages, PowerPoint Presentations, Microsoft Word documents, or your own personalized SMART Notebook lessons and that the teacher or student can even write and erase on the board. ****After this project, I feel I could now use SMART Notebook software to create a variety of lessons on different subjects from English to math and science lessons. What I find most appealing about SMART boards is that they present material in a way that is interesting, interactive, and fun for students and teachers alike. They are extremely popular at the school I am currently working at and I can see why! **
