Early on it was the stone slate. Much later came the chalkboard, and then the whiteboard. What's the latest large, rectangular panel at the center of classroom learning? The SMART Board, an LCD-projected digital environment that students and teachers can manipulate with their bare hands or a marker.
Tanya Sharpe, who teaches special education, regular education, and English as a second language students at Holcomb Bridge Middle School in Alpharetta, Ga., says the technology helps her tailor teaching methods. With SMART Board "I could virtually modify my teaching such that I could teach in a manner that best fit my individual students' learning styles," she says.
