Interactive Board
This blog entry is about a tool in Dr. Wang's PowerPoint about previous T3PP results. Specifically Interactive Board in the hardware list.
What is an Interactive Board?
An interactive board is a technology that you can find in some classrooms. It is an interactive display in the form of a whiteboard. It is used as a touch board to present information, and allow students to take part in the lessons being taught. An interactive board is very versatile. It can be used in so many different ways. It can be used to present new content, and to assess students. There are so many features that I haven't explored, but I am excited to learn more about. Another part that makes an interactive board so versatile is that it can be connected to any mobile device, such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and desktops. I wouldn't say that it is that easy to use. It definitely takes time to learn all of the features, and where everything is located. If you are struggling on getting started there are many videos that will instruct you on how to use it.
I definitely plan on using an interactive board in my classroom if it is available to me. If I am lucky enough to have one in my classroom I plan on using it quite a bit. After the few days in class exploring all of the different functions, I can only imagine the amount of ways I will use it. I can see myself creating games and assessments on SMART board to have my class participate in.
How it relates to TLC and SAMR/PICRAT
I believe that an interactive board relates to the teaching aspect of the TLC framework. It relates to the PICRAT framework by the way it allows students to be interactive, and it transforms the way teachers can teach their students.

We used the concept of an interactive board a lot over the course of this quarter and your explanation fits this technology perfectly. The use of an interactive board is highly interactive and there are so many versatile ways to use this tool. I liked how you mentioned there are still a lot of different way to use this technology that you are still excited to explore because it shows the variety of ways you can use this tool and continue to explore and learn everyday.
