One of the most visible technological advances in the classroom is the replacement of traditional chalkboards with interactive whiteboards.  Currently, these are produced by two major companies.


The two products have very similar features, and education majors may run into either in their field experience depending on the preference of their assigned school district.


Clicking the images above will direct you to the free tutorials provided by each company. Many more video guides on both basic and music specific uses can be found by searching Youtube or Google.




LEARNING TO USE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS


Both SMART and Promethean Boards are available in the Technology and Resource Center for student practice.  In addition, many rooms in the Education Building have an interactive whiteboard, and students are welcome to use these whenever there is not a class.  The staff of the Technology and Resource Center will be happy to open up technology cabinets for this purpose.



While on campus and connected to the BGSU wired or Wi-Fi network, students also have free access to Atomic Learning.  This service provides video tutorials for many kinds of technology, including both SMART and Promethean Boards.  Passwords for off-campus access can be obtained by calling the Student Technology Center at (419) 372-9277 or sending an email to student-tech@lists.bgsu.edu.
