Over the past two years, with the assistance of CIJE, SMART boards have been installed in classrooms in close to one hundred Jewish Day Schools. Hundreds of teachers in both Judaic and General Studies have been trained. The CIJE teachers’ website (www.cijeteachers.org) is a great resource for teachers to share ideas and contains a vast bank of SMART board lessons and activities for all subjects. The SMART board is a tool for extending the horizons of teaching and learning. With the increased use of interactive whiteboards, teachers are noticing deeper student engagement and understanding of concepts in all subject areas and at all grade levels. Students are being helped to gain insights into concepts and problems. As educators, you have the means to take the tools of teaching and launch them into a totally new dimension.
