The use of Smartboards and interactive learning in the classroom is a common occurance in this day and age.  The Smartboard with the combination of the Notebook software has become a usefull tool for teachers in the classroom and has provided a variety of options when it comes to developing creative lessons.  The Notebook software has options such as the gallery gives teachers availablitiy to local and online resources along with a number of different pictures and images which may be used with lessons.  The object animation section creates the option of changing size, postiion, or create animation to any text shape or image.  In the content catagory the teacher is provided with online essentials, lesson activities, a database of learning objects, and the oportunity to creat and share network content which can be share with colleages.  These are just a few of the many options that are available with Notebook.
    The Smartboard brings all of these lesson activites to life.  This tool allows the students and teacher to interact with one another during lessons.  It also creates a fun and enjoyable atmosphere in the classroom.  Children are more likely to be engaged in the learning process if they are enjoying and attentive to what is going on and being taught.  I think the use of the smartboard and the notebook software will make life easier for teachers and make the learning process more enjoyable for the student.
