 A Social Studies and English teacher for 15 years, Amy
Kenton shifted her role to school administration in
2004. Since that time, she has worked to incorporate
new technologies into schools.

3. About SMART Boards
 SMART Boards are interactive whiteboards that are
used as large computer screens. The boards are touch
sensitive, and can serve as input devices to control the
computer. Using SMART Boards, teachers can display
a student’s work to reward hard-working individuals,
worksheets that are a part of the day’s lesson plan, or
textbooks to make learning a group activity.
In addition, there are a plethora of interactive learning
games on the Internet that teachers can utilize on
SMART Boards to facilitate a fun, collaborative
learning environment and to keep students engaged.
