JaniceF says, "Good description Christie"

smitht [guest] says, "You can think of a Smartboard as either a computer
with your hand as the cursor or as a whiteboard
that can be saved or printed."

MidgeF says, "The college that I do some work for is making college
classrooms with smartboards."

Sandy [guest] says, "A whiteboard is a wonderful answer to chalkboards.
You use dry erase markers."

BernieD says, "I won't project it, but for future reference here's a URL
about SmartBoards: http://www.smarttech.com/smartboard/"

PhilipAB says, "The great thing about a smartboard isn't all the fancy
software they put into it. It is the simple fact of being
able to stand facing your class and touch the screen to
follow links or perform an action. But as you say, the
*content* is even more important than the technology."

JaniceF says, "What is really neat is when kids are able to present
their work to the class that way"

Marcia [guest] says, "In addition on the smartboard you basically are
the mouse. What you touch or write on the
smartboard controlls your computer."

JaniceF exclaims, "Kids do great editing of their work when it is on a
big screen in front of the class!"

MarshaR has arrived.
Sandy [guest] says, "It makes presenting information from the web a lot
easier than 24 small bodies gathered around one
monitor."

PhilipAB asks, "So, how does this heavy tech environment act to
facilitate inquiry-oriented activities like WebQuests?"

BernieD asks, "So... tell us about the process by which WebQuests got
instituted. It hasn't been a totally smooth ride, has it?"

BernieD says, "(great minds, Philip)"
