Classrooms getting smarter

By Meagan Engle | Sunday, June 29, 2008, 04:58 AM

Franklin City Schools will be installing “smart” chalkboards in classrooms next month. The district will now have interactive chalkboards in every classroom.

The SMART Boards, an interactive alternative to the standard chalkboard, are already being used at each grade level.

The district will receive 85 SMART Boards by Monday, and will start installing them the week of July 7, said Jean Creech, director of technology.

Creech said teachers have been going through workshops to learn about the boards, and “are so excited to be able to have them in each of their rooms.” “It’s just a different way of teaching and it’s really nice,” she said.

What do you think of technology in the classroom?
