Smart Teachers, Smart Board, Smart Students

As part of the technology building in all the EOCs, the University Center for the Academic and Workforce Development (UCAWD) has provided the Bronx EOC with Smart Board technology. The Smart Board is an electronic interactive white board in which teachers and students may interact in a learning environment. The smart board can be used to write on, to download curricular materials from the computer or the internet or to make presentations such as power point shows or videos. The Smart Board will be an excellent teaching tool to small group of learners, be they students or staff, because of its interactivity, resourcefulness and ease of use.

Selected staff in the Bronx EOC will use the Smart Board in the Academic Support Center to create student interest, increase class participation and improve progress. The Smart Board also challenges the instructor to be creative and make available materials from the infinite resources of the internet.
