My department head asked me to help him put together a grant request to a local foundation to purchase a Smartboard for my classroom. My question is this...Is Smartboard still the best tool for doing what it does or are there newer and better technologies out there? I ask because it seems to me that Smartboard has been around for a looong time by technology standards, and I have been somewhat (understatement) out of touch with developments in the Ed Tech field over the last few years. So I don't want to get caught buying something just as it becomes obsolete.
