Delta Christian School now has a Smart Board in every classroom.
The interactive white boards have all kinds of uses, said Kelly Blackmore, who teaches a Grade 5/6 class at the Ladner independent school.
From taking attendance, helping teach a math lesson or having a conversation on Skype with pen pals from another school, the technology is teacher friendly and kid friendly, she notes.
"It just makes everything so much easier to incorporate into the classroom," Blackmore says.
Students can interact with the Smart Board by touch. The boards are connected to a teacher's laptop or school computer.
"Anything that I do on my laptop I can project. Also, (students) can interact with it."
The school got its first Smart Board a few years ago, added a few more gradually and now has one in every class.
Both students and teachers are using the Smart Boards.
"It's more driven for students to use it. As they get older they can actually take way more ownership over setting things up," Blackmore says.
A Smart Board can also help students be proud of their presentations, she says, adding one of her students used iMovie to create a slideshow about conservation projects in his neighbourhood.
"It lets them think about different ways they can present their learning to their classmates."
