Our ESOL department have a number of Smartboards which are under used. What is the best way to use them with language learners?

If it is SmartBoards ™ that you have installed the Smart Technologies website has a Teachers hub in the Education section with lessons and resources that can be downloaded and used or adapted.

SmartBoards ™ come with some preinstalled learning objects and there are also over 100 multimedia learning objects available to use from NLN which work very successfully with interactive whiteboards. The trick is to have the confidence to get your learners up to the board and get them to use even the basic tools that are provided in the software.
