SMART Board

What Is a SMART Board?

SMART Board Teacher Resources for interactive whiteboards that are installed in many classrooms and labs on all three Bucks campuses.

The touch-sensitive display connects to the computer and digital projector to control computer applications directly from the display, write notes in digital ink and save your work to share later. The SMART Board software, SMART Notebook for organizing lessons, and SMART Ideas for mind mapping and visualizing concepts, extends the power of these boards as teaching tools. 

Use of an Airliner wireless graphics tablet and mouse allows interaction with the whiteboard and computer from anywhere in the room.
