Explanation of Purchasing Plan SMART board interacts with our present software and equipment and our infrastructure. We have several teachers who could be mentors because of their TL21 training Benefit to students is well documented in research - the multi media approach and infinite lessons and activities available that can be easily based on standards specific to Washington state. Students will benefit by utilizing the multiple methods of presenting information. Washington state standards all begin with the word “demonstrate” Using SMART board technology focuses on that level of learning. The student response system (tier 3) will give instant feedback to students, and immediate data to teachers.
