885IX

[Tony Fisher]

I a getting a new board in my room

I have and old 600 series board and the shcool is going to try out an 885ix

I try and see if we need more of these types of boards in the school

I have the pleasure of sampling it

Please anyone who has used this board or can point me in the best direction to become

more proficient at its new features please let me know

thanks for the help

The 885ix is great for its many features including two people can work on the SMART Board at the same time anywhere on the board.  This allows you to have two math problems to be solved at the same time or two sorts at the same time etc.  Of course, SMART Board includes gestures similar to Ipods or Ipads to shrink and enlarge objects.   

SMART Exchange has dual Notebook files available at http://exchange.smarttech.com/search.html?q=#type=SMART+Notebook+du...

The best way to become more proficient is to play with the board as well as let your students try it out.  Experiment and try different ideas and then share your learnings here so we can learn from each other.
