Sadly, I have had very little experience with either of these technologies. When I was a sophomore in high school, my zoology/marine biology teacher had written a grant for a SMART Board for his room. He used this tool almost every day. Although he did use PowerPoint with this he made them more interesting by drawing quick sketches to clarify. However, students were never allowed to use this board. Last semester I took the online tutorials for the Promethean software. I then attended a very brief training session of this technology. Because it was so brief I had no opportunity to use this technology.
I think both these technologies could be very valuable tools in the classroom. Unfortunately, most teachers who have this capability in their classroom do not use for anything more than a way to show a PowerPoint presentation. I think it would be great if teachers could allow students the opportunity to use these technologies.
