If you by any chance loose one or more of the pens, they must be replaced, which is costly and time consuming. You can only write on the board with the allocated pens and the board must have a projection from the projector to work. The main pen used (which can also be a remote) must have batteries and you only get a set of four pens with the board. So in the event of a power cut or electrical fault, the board will be totally unusable. Smartboards have to be plugged into an electrical source, as well as connected to a projector. The main downfall to smartboards are the very high chances that they will not preform to the standard you require. However, there are, as with any technological product, a few downfalls. Smartboards also allow you to save the notes created on the board, which is handy for homeschool reporting. Having the ability to use special pens to write or select options on the board enables you to work efficiently and show the material in front of a class or student. The smartboard is a great way of being able to access certain websites or documents and presenting them on a larger screen. Having a smartboard is a great way of adding a modern twist to your classroom, even if you homeschool.
This was once done the old fashioned way by simply using a projector and cable, but as time has gone on there was clearly a gap in the market, and the smartboard was born. The smartboard’s sole purpose is to interactively have the computer screen projected onto the board so that the user can then write notes on the screen. They are called “smartboards” simply because the company who created “interactive boards” specialized in smart technologies. However, it wasn’t until recent years that they really took off.
Smartboards were first created in 1991 when technology and everyday life started to intertwine.
Many schools have invested in smartboards for their classrooms, and while they seem exciting and new, are they really as practical and useful as they seem? And can they benefit homeschoolers as well as kids in regular classrooms? Over the last few years, the whiteboard (and blackboard) has been overshadowed by the newest gadget in school, the smartboard. Homeschooling because of covid19? Browse my tips & reviews!
