The Versatility of a Smartboard
GMU TTAC assistive technology coordinator, Estela Landeros-Dugourd, shared her expertise with the interactive Smartboards at the recent 2006 TechKnowledgy conference. As Estela noted, the versatility of these interactive whiteboards is found in the ability to work with varied media and multiple applications. In this true spirit of universal design for learning, students can interact with the media through touch, voice, or keyboard. As well, the output can be created through a software program, an instructional content program, a video or audio recorder--complementing varied learner approaches.
