classrooms using the SMART Board interactive whiteboards."

Chor Kam Fai

Teacher, Tsang Pik Shan Secondary School

"Technology use in classrooms is mostly assigned for the belief that students need to be entertained and need to feel that the school is up to date with the technology revolution around. This old idea came to an end when teachers realize that technology in classrooms is to be used effectively and meaningfully based on the objectives of authentic learning. I can say, SMART Boards integration in the teaching learning process was the smart step ever made by UAS. SMART Notebook is a full resource a teacher may use to explain, interpreter and deliver a lesson to students. At the same time, it is a great way for students to be involved, well engaged in the lesson and to examine their knowledge in an effective way."
