-:WeeK FiVe (smartboard):-

Nowadays, the achievements in technology were in well development. The development of information technology is alignment with education section. On week 5, I was introduced with a new tool aid in education known as SMART Board. Among users it also known as interactive whiteboard and if you use it, it is really an interactive whiteboard. My early prediction on this ‘whiteboard’ is very interesting and can replace with the old one of the previous traditional whiteboard that commonly used at schools now. Actually, this tool is introducing in facebook too.

Truly, this magic tool was introduced since 20 years ago on year 1991 which was develop and innovated by SMART Technologies Company. It application is by using the touch control of computer and annotation over standard Microsoft Windows applications. When used it, the smart Board will display after connecting with computer and projector just by using the application of USB for connection. A projector will project the computer's desktop onto the board's surface. When I used and applied the Smart Board for my group presentation, I felt the magic site when I control the computer using finger on the interactive board. The board is typically mounted to a wall or on a floor stand.

When I used it, I realized that, this tool is very needed in education as an important kit in teaching and learning. But I also not denied because it will become difficult to the teacher and especially to students for applying either in classroom or other places. In money calculation this board is very expensive about RM11000 but our Ministry of education will settle it with the best way because all of this is usefully for education manner. But, by having more and more practices for teachers by administration, the difficulties usage it can be managed with right way.
