** The best way to become proficient with a SMART Board is to simply use it. Select the information from the in-service that is most valuable to you, and apply it to your classroom. Once you become comfortable with your SMART Board, you can always refer back to the resources on this page for technical support and lesson ideas. Always remember, however, that the best source of support and ideas are your colleagues.

Good luck with your SMART Board!
