I was totally enamoured with the Smartboard when I first saw it, but after having more experience with it, I have found that it can be pretty complicated if you aren't familiar with it. I feel that the Smartboard should be used very deliberately because there may be other more efficient ways to teach something.
I learned a lot about the Smartboard by watching other people demonstrate. I learned that you should really be familiar with the activity you're using in order to maximize the class' time, otherwise you are wasting time by trying to figure out the program.
Some questions I have are more technical than anything else. I have had problems with the little tool tab coming out when I want it to. Sometimes it's not there at all.
Another one is about the fill tool. I can't get it to put a background color on the page. What comes up when I click on it is the page recording device. I just have a feeling that my program is flawed!
Overall, the Smartboard is an amazing piece of technology that when used with the correct motives and only as a supplement to your teaching can have a great effect on learning for students.
