The smart board was surprisingly tricky to use. I remember when I was in elementary school being so excited to use a smart board. But, I had so many problems with it that would have greatly slowed down my teaching time. First, their were so many cords and set up process that took many tried to get down. Second, I could not even do a lesson that involved writing words because the smart board was so far off. Even after calibrating it several times and getting help from the tech team, it was a nightmare to write on. I found it to be very unreliable and an easy way for myself and my class to become easily distracted and off task.
