Two new Smartboards added to the secondary annex.
Creating a buzz on the secondary side is the recent addition of two Smartboards. A
Smartboard looks like a regular dry-erase board, however, it is interactive, which gives
the teacher the power to bring the internet, with all its possibilities, to the
classroom. The manufacturer describes it this way, "It is a large, touch-controlled screen
that works with a projector and a computer. The projector throws the computer’s
desktop image onto the interactive whiteboard, which acts as both a monitor and an
input device. Users can write on the interactive whiteboard in digital ink or use a finger to
control computer applications by pointing, clicking and dragging, just as with a
desktop mouse." Needless to say our teachers are very excited about using them and
have attended a workshop on how they can incorporate this technology into their various
subjects. MVCS is committed to being on the front lines of technology development and
is looking to incorporate more Smartboards in the near future.
