Smart Board

One of the most innovative pieces of technology ever for the classroom is the SmartBoard. Roane schools have a number of these in our classrooms. They make teachers more effective and students like them. One of the many benefits of the SmartBoard is that a teachers entire lesson can be captured and stored as a .pdf file, which in turn can be uploaded to a website.
