After a short introduction of what a SMART Board is, the author begins to talk about how she used it in a Kindergarten classroom to introduce her students to the three types of rocks. She talked about their interaction with the program and their comments. Pointing out that many beginning teachers are familiar with and have a creative flair for the integration of SMART Board instruction in their lessons, She felt that this may boost teachers’ comfort level with teaching science and, as a result, increase the amount of science being taught, the enjoyment of the lessons, and the students’ success with concepts being conveyed through the interactive nature of SMART Boards.
