Plug in baby.

I would absolutely love to use the Smart Board in my classroom. It instantly captivates your attention whenever it is being used. I think that Smart Board could be used in any classroom, ranging from elementary to secondary. As a secondary teacher, I would use the Smart Board for daily presentations. I think that the Smart Board could virtually take the place of an overhead projector. You would be able to make presentation that would both engage and inform your students. I would also use the Smart Board as a review tool. For example, if I was doing a unit on American poets, I could devise some kind of game on the Smart Board. Students would want to play, instead of filling in a boring worksheet. There is also the opportunity for students to directly interact with the Smart Board. They can come up and touch the screen themselves. This gives them the experience in case a career in education is in their future. The Smart Board is going to provide countless opportunities for educators and students alike.
