Smart Board in the Music Classroom

 Barker, J. (2007). Smart Board in the Music Classroom. Music Educators Journal, 93(5), 18-19. Retrieved September 13, 2010, from Education Research Complete database.

This article by Barker gives a teachers account of learning to use Interactive Whiteboards (IWB)'s and then using them in the implementation of her music lessons. Barker a teacher of 20 years provides a positive experience of the posibilities that IWB's provide, the author loves the way that this technology has made everything immediate as well as being impressed by the software smartboards provide to do lesson plans. Barker believes that this technology is the future as it not only provides enhanced student engagement but makes life easier from a teachers point of view, by being able to cut and paste relevant material and not having to stuff around with hand outs and cds. This article has been a good first person account of implementing IWB's into the classroom.
