Preschool Smart Board Program

A SMARTBoard, is a large, touch-controlled screen that works with a projector to provide users with a larger version of their computer screen. The projector puts 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. Buttons launch a popup keyboard and a right-mouse-click menu for more input options.

SMARTboards can be used as an effective teaching tool at any grade level. Our preschool teachers use the SMART board to bring the internet, with it’s many learning resources, to the fingertips of our students. PIOLC uses the SMART board on a daily basis for hands-on interactive learning games, to practice math and reading skills, and to enhance exposure to literature and music.
