Carroll Education Foundation's Grant Recipients and Sponsors 2007

Sponsor: Fidelity Investments
Grant: Smart Board, Smary Kids
School: Dawson Middle School


The Smart Board is a large interactive whiteboard which promotes active, inquiry-based learning and energizes lessons with a dynamic experience. Teachers and students can simply touch the screen to move letters, numbers, words and pictures – the student’s finger becomes the mouse. The large surface gives students ample space and encourages them to work together. By writing with a pen or a finger, they can draw over any application or website to highlight key points, record observations and brainstorm ideas. The Smart Board is so exciting that it motivates student to learn!
