I have taught on smartboard, and I was very happy with the outcome.

Warning:
There were a lot of tools that I only learned to master after 3 months of using. So you can only fully appreciate the smartboard once you've seen its full strength.

Here are some examples of stuff you can do:

• You can select a piece of text and drag it somewhere.
• You can select a piece of text and shrink it so that it fits in a corner.
• You can copy paste.
• You can go back to a previous page.
• You can prepare something e.g. a graph in advance.
• Open an internet page and write on top of it: e.g. suppose the page contains some formulas, then you can circle important formulas in red.

These little things can be of great use: Say you don't want to erase an important definition. Then you shrink it to a corner, and go on writing in the middle. In that way, the definition always remains visible.

Overall, I think that:
- A good teacher can improve his teaching by using a smartboard.
- For bad teacher, a smartboard can make things even worse.

At any rate, there is a learning process, which lasts at least several months before one gets used to it, and before one really understands all the possibilities of the smartboard.

Also, you can easily save each class as a file, and make it available to the students.
