Technology is evolving at the speed of light. With its evolution, it also tweeks or improves other previous tools. Take the SMART Board, for example. It takes the idea of a white board and mixes it with multi-touch technology. It links the "old"  technology with the "new" wave. One thing that makes these products so beneficial is the interactive learning atmosphere it creates. No longer do children have to sit, bored, while the teacher writes information on the board. Now, children can interact with the information on different levels. Instead of the teaching writing information on the board, they could bring up a website and have the children interact with the information shared on that website. They can highlight words, or underline sentences. With this new technology, classrooms are being transformed into an interactive atmosphere. Fun, and educational, for all ages!
