SMARTboard Meeting

Yesterday,  I had a webinar with the SMART tech representatives, along with  my site supervisor.  It was a very productive meeting.  My principal was able to ask all of the necessary questions about the technology.  The teachers main concern about the SMARTboards would the be conducive and durable if one of the students hit the boards.  The other concern was the expense of the interactive board.  The reps also discussed portable boards because she thought it would be better if she purchased portable board so they could be shared amongst the teachers.   But some of the teachers truly preferred  the MOBI boards compared to the SMARTboards.   Once the webinar concluded, I had a private meeting with my principal and the financial officer about which product would be feasible for the teachers and students.  They are also considering the Apple TV system, therefore it's up in the air about which path they will go.  Lastly, we will be attended a  MOBI workshop on Wednesday, September 26 th, because my principal wants to see how the program works in a classroom setting.   I am pleased my project is moving forward.  Stay tune for more updates.
