Interactive Whiteboards

 I enjoyed doing my SmartBoard lesson.  I have always wanted to do a SmartBoard Lesson and I feel very lucky to do one and learn the software. I even taught my lesson to a third grade class to test it out.   I did my lesson on living and nonliving things.  It enhanced my lesson by letting me add pictures and videos of living and nonliving things.  In one part of my lesson, the students had to move an "L" or "N" over a picture and decide if the picture was living or nonliving.  It allowed me to informal assessment my students. 
The pros of having an interactive whiteboard in your classroom are endless.  The cons of having an interactive whiteboard in your classroom are finding the time to put your lessons on the computer and making sure all students are engaged in learning.  I could have used a Smartboard while teaching onset and rime, rhyming words, and letter recognition.
