Technology
More and more classrooms are equipped with Smart Board technology. If you are not familiar with it, it is a large white board that has taken the place of the chalk board of our time. This is not just any white board, it is interactive. I use my smart board to teach lessons, play educational videos, and even Skype with children in classrooms from around the world. This is a great tool to keep students engaged and focused on instructions.
Star Parent Tip:
My son loves our home and any gadget that uses technology. I use his interest in technology to my advantage by allowing him to go on websites that reinforce many of the concepts being taught in school. It’s funny how putting a computer in front of a child will get them interested in almost anything.
