Smartboards This is a presentation I am going to give about smatboards: What are the main differences between smartboards and projectors? - Smartboards allow us to work and teach in a very fast way: we can write, give feedback on the student's writing in the classroom, listen to audios, and write the answers directly on the board, while projecting the book... - We can also interact with the elements that are being projected - The students can move in the classroom, and interact with the smartboard, being more active learners. One of the main advantages I have found using a smartboard is the interaction with the book or with online material. Teachers can write to give explanations or to correct an activity, and students can also write. Here is an example of how students interact with the book in a Spanish classroom (I have a video) Students not only write, but they can do multimodal interactive activities in the smartboard, not only in their computers. They can do listening comprehension activities, grammar activties, reading comprehension activities, etc. COLLABORATIVE WRITING After the students have worked collaboratively in groups, we can project the final writing on the smartboard, and everybody has to find the errors, and write an alternative. In the classroom it is "easy" to correct the speaking mistakes, but do we pay attention to writing? MATCHING WORDS AND IMAGES Students and teachers can drag the words and images to practice the vocabulary. Students and teachers can also drag the definitions and words to practice the vocabulary.
