Introduction
Welcome to SMART Board and You! In this course you will be given the opportunity to work with a group of your peers in order to determine what you need in your classroom when using the SMART Board. Everyone in this course knows that basics of using the SMART Board, we are here this week to study further the unique ability of the SMART Board to engage our students and help them become successful across the curriculum.

**Course Description**
SMART Board and You is a series of interactive workshops geared towards Teachers in grade 1.
