SmartBoard Technology

the computer, and to quickly load up videos while presenting in front of the classroom.
Tablets
Tablets that have online access to research materials, applications, and e-books are a fantastic resource for students learning in school. It is also very beneficial to work on touch-screen tablets rather than computers with keyboard because motor development and keyboard typing skills are not usually developed by a younger aged student. So this is an opportunity for those students to quickly learn and access the information.
ELMO
ELMO technology allows teachers and students to actively interact in writing information visible over the whiteboard or wall. Questions and answers can be written, sentences can be fixed in an instant, and drawings can be made to help students visualize their experience while reading and writing.
MyStoryBook
MyStoryBook enters the world of imagination for students. It allows the student to create their own book with adding visuals, text, and dialogue into it. This is a fun and interactive way to have students develop new vocabulary, use known vocabulary in their story, enhance comprehension and critical thinking skills, and learn how to analyze character development throughout the story making process.
