2. SMART Board can be simply described as an interactive whiteboard. It was first released in 1991 by SMART Technologies as an interactive tool for teachers to use within the classroom. With the use of both a computer and a projector images, text, and lesson plans can be transferred onto the display board.

3. SMART Boards have effectively replaced the standard overhead projector. Since its first release there have been many models, the most recent of which have both multi-touch and multi-write features. This allows for multiple students to participate in lessons at the same time. SMART Boards have also become invaluable resources for teachers.

4. Today there are more than 40 million students and teachers in 175 different countries that use SMART technology. SMART Boards have been a great innovation in the intertwined worlds of teaching and technology. Jaclyn Gallego
