Smartboard is ideal for engaging students in learning language via 
discussion of art even at elementary language level. For example, 
Guernica, the famous Spanish painting, can serve as a first day intro 
to definite articles.  Students try to find (and circle) "the 
woman" "the bull"  and different images in this famous painting by 
Picasso.  The smartboard gives language teachers access to a wealth of 
authentic cultural on every topic. The artist website 
carmenlomasgarza.com, with many typical everyday scenes is another 
example of everyday scenese with much cultural information imbedded in 
each.  The interactive nature of the smartboard, using art but also 
many other sites with great authentic cultural visuals, allows 
students to write on the image and is a great teaching aid to promote 
comprehension and cultural knowledge at the same time.  I have much 
information on Spanish sites to use with Smartboard if you're 
interested.
